A convenient synthesis of 5′-deoxyribonucleosides
1977
Abstract A facile, two-step synthesis has been devised for the chemical preparation of 5′-deoxyribonucleosides from the parent nucleosides via the 5′-chloro-5′-deoxy-nucleosides. Treatment of 5′-chloro-5′-deoxynucleosides with tributyltin hydride and α,α′-azobis(isobutyronitrile) in dry tetrahydrofuran yields the corresponding 5′-deoxy-nucleosides. Dechlorination of 5′-chloro-5′-deoxythymidine with tributyltin hydride gives 1-(2,5-dideoxy-β- D - erythro -pentofuranosyl)thymine (5′-deoxythymidine) in good yield. Similarly, dechlorination of 9-(3,5-dichloro-2,3,5-trideoxy-β- D - threo -pentofuranosyl)adenine and 1-(3,5-dichloro-2,3,5-trideoxy-β- D - threo -pentofuranosyl)thymine yields the corresponding two trideoxynucleosides.
