SYNTHESIS AND USE OF 2'-SUBSTITUTED-N6-MODIFIED NUCLEOSIDES

摘要

An improved method of preparing a sugar modified nucleoside analog includes a protocol in which a hydroxy group of a sugar is selectively deprotected and oxidized prior to nucleophilic modification of the corresponding carbonyl group. The modified sugar is then coupled to a heterocyclic base that is modified with a dual nucleophilic reagent in a further step that provides N6-modified adenosine analogs with high stereoselectivity.
