A. Winqvist et R. Stromberg, Preparation of 3 '-C-branched uridine analogues, suitable for conversion into functionalism 3 '-C-methylene derivatives, NUCLEOS NUC, 20(4-7), 2001, pp. 1389-1392
A novel method for preparation of 1-[2-O-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-3-deoxy-
3-C-hydroxymethyl-5-O-monomethoxytrityl-beta -D-ribo-pentofuranosyl]uracil
by hydroboration of corresponding 3'-deoxy-3'-C'-methyleneuridine derivativ
e has been developed. Further conversion of the hydroxyl function into diff
erent leaving groups was carried out to afford derivatives suitable for con
version into various 3'-C-branched uridine analogues through substitution.
