(2R,3S,5S)-2-acetoxy-3-fluoro-5-(p-toluoyloxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran: a keyintermediate for the practical synthesis of 9-(2,3-dideoxy-2-fluoro-beta-D-threo-pentofuranosyl)adenine (FddA)
Fq. Jin et al., (2R,3S,5S)-2-acetoxy-3-fluoro-5-(p-toluoyloxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran: a keyintermediate for the practical synthesis of 9-(2,3-dideoxy-2-fluoro-beta-D-threo-pentofuranosyl)adenine (FddA), TETRAHEDR L, 42(29), 2001, pp. 4787-4789
A highly efficient synthesis of (2R,3S,5S)-2-acetoxy-3-fluoro-5-(p-toluoylo
xymethyl)tetrahydrofuran (2a) was developed. As a key intermediate, 2a was
effectively applied to the synthesis of 9-(2,3-dideoxy-2-fluoro-beta -D-thr
eo-pentofuranosyl)adenine (FddA), thus, providing a practical synthesis app
roach to FddA. (C) 2001 Dupont Pharmaceuticals Company. Published by Elsevi
