Disclosed is a method for preparing 2′-deoxy-2′,2′-difluorocytidine of Formula I comprising, preparing an optically pure 3R-hydroxypropane amide compound of Formula VIII from an optical ester compound of Formula IX using an optically active chiral amine, preparing an optically pure D-erythro-2,2-difluoro-2-deoxy-1-oxoribose compound of Formula V from the compound of Formula VIII, glycosylating the compound of Formula V with a nucleobase to prepare the 2′-deoxy-2′,2′-difluorocytidine of Formula I as a &bgr;-nucleoside. With the present invention, it is possible to prepare an optically pure compound of Formula I in a high purity and a high yield. In the Formulae, R1 and R2 are protecting groups and are each independently benzoyl, 4-methylbenzoyl, 3-methylbenzoyl, 4-cyanobenzoyl, 3-cyanobenzoyl, 4-propylbenzoyl, 2-ethoxybenzoyl, 4-t-butylbenzoyl, 1-naphthoyl or 2-naphthoyl, R3, R4 and R7 are each independently C1-C3 alkyl, R5 is methyl or ethyl, R6 is hydrogen, methyl or methoxy. |
