Stereoselective Synthesis of Novel Analogues of 2′‐Deoxy‐ and 2′,3′‐ Dideoxynucleosides with Potential Antiviral Activity.

Abstract The stereoselective synthesis of new 2′-deoxy- and 2′,3′-dideoxy-2′-C-alkylnucleosides with potential antiviral activity is presented. The compounds here described were tested for their antiproliferative property against human tumor cell lines and none showed any significant antitumor activity.
