H. Komatsu et al., Large-scale manufacturing of all four 2 '-deoxynucleosides via novel strategies including a chemo-enzymatic process, NUCLEOS NUC, 20(4-7), 2001, pp. 1291-1293
A chemical synthesis of 2-deoxyribose-1-phosphate 2 and its enzymatic conve
rsion into purine 2'-deoxynucleosides (dNus) are shown. Besides the chemoen
zymatic process for purine dNus, a modified process for practical dC prepar
ation is also established. Consequently, a series of practical manufacturin
g processes of all four dNus have been realized via novel strategies.
