Abstract

5-Fluorouracil derivatives and a process for their preparation are provided. The 5-fluorouracil derivatives according to the invention have the general formula: ##STR1## R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are the same or different and are hydrogen or ##STR2## with the proviso that both R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are not hydrogen at the same time. A.sub.1, A.sub.2 and A.sub.3 are independently selected from hydrogen, and optionally substituted alkoxy and phenyloxy; at least one of A.sub.1, A.sub.2 and A.sub.3 being other than hydrogen. The 5-fluorouracil derivative is prepared by condensing 5-fluorouracil with a halide of the formula: ##STR3## in the presence of a base. The 5-fluorouracils according to the invention show anti-tumor activity.
