Mm. Greenberg et al., C1' ACYLATED DERIVATIVES OF 2'-DEOXYURIDINE - PHOTOLABILE PRECURSORS OF 2'-DEOXYURIDIN-1'-YL, Nucleosides & nucleotides, 16(1-2), 1997, pp. 33-40
C1' acylated derivatives of 2'-deoxyuridine (1a-c) were synthesized fr
om 1-[3-deoxy-beta-D-psicofuranosyl]uracil (6). The acyl group is intr
oduced via the C1' aldehyde (11). Following nucleophilic addition, the
ketones (1a-c) are obtained via periodinane oxidation and desilylatio
n with NH4F.
