An efficient de novo synthesis of 3'-deoxythymidine from D-xylose

An efficient stereospecific synthesis of 3’-deoxythymidine has been achieved, starting from D-xylose. The key step of the synthesis involved the NBS promoted conversion of 5-O-benzoyl-2,3-di-S-ethyl-2,3-dithio-D-ribose diethyl dithioacetal (4) into the 1-O-acetyl-5-O-benzoyl-2,3-di-S-ethyl-2,3-dithi...
