[Synthesis of 4-ureidooxycyclophosphamide (author's transl)].

The synthesis of 4-ureidooxycyclophosphamide, a potential cytostatic, whose cis/trans-isomers can be stereoselectively obtained from 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide and hydroxyurea in DMF in DMF or water, is described. These compounds are remarkably stable at room temperature. For the first time, the two epimers from a derivative of 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide can be NMR-spectroscopically compared with each other.
