Ae. Pechenov et al., The S,X-acetals in nucleoside chemistry. II. The synthesis of 3 '-O-methylthiomethylribonucleosides, BIOORG KHIM, 26(6), 2000, pp. 452-459
3'-O-Methylthiomethyl derivatives of ribonucleosides were synthesized from
the selectively protected nucleosides by the action of a dimethyl sulfide-b
enzoyl peroxide mixture in acetonitrile or a dimethyl sulfoxide-acetic anhy
dride-acetic acid mixture.
