Aa. Elemam et al., GLYCOSYLATION OF A 6-(ARYLTHIO)URACIL WITH A 3-AZIDO-2,3-DIDEOXYPENTOFURANOSIDE DERIVATIVE, Bulletin de la Societe chimique de France, 130(6), 1993, pp. 817-821
Reaction of methyl l-2,3-dideoxy-alpha,beta-D-erythro-pentofuranoside
4 with silylated 6-(phenylthio or 3,5-dimethylphenylthio)uracils 5 usi
ng trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate as a catalyst yielded the
N-3 nucleosides 6, which, by the action of tetrabutylammonium fluoride
, afforded the deprotected anomeric nucleosides 7 and 8. None of the s
ynthesized nucleosides were found to be active against HIV.
