P. Ioannidis et al., ALLYLIC ALCOHOL TRANSPOSITIONS IN THE CARBOHYDRATE MOIETY OF PYRIMIDINE NUCLEOSIDES, Tetrahedron letters, 34(18), 1993, pp. 2993-2994
The reagent system chlorodiphenylphosphine, imidazole, and iodine, is
shown to be useful in a novel transposition reaction of allylic alcoho
ls to provide access to a new class of 2',3'-unsaturated nucleoside an
alogues.
