Abstract
A novel method of synthesis of 2′-deoxy-β-d-ribonucIeosides via transglycosylation of 6-oxopurine ribonucleosides is exemplified for conversion of inosine into 6-metylpurine 2′-deoxyriboside (5). The method offers high regio- and stereoselectivity as well as a good overall yield, and in these respects is superior to the fusion or anionic glycosylation procedures.
