There is disclosed a novel process to produce 2ʹ,3ʹ-dideoxynucleosides such as, for example, 2ʹ,3ʹ-dideoxycytidine, in high yields. More particularly, the various stereoisomers of 2ʹ,3ʹ-dideoxynucleosides are obtained. The α- and β-(L)-2ʹ,3ʹ-dideoxynucleosides and certain α-(D)-2ʹ,3ʹ-dideoxynucleosides are obtained as stereochemically pure compounds not heretofore obtained. The compounds so produced are useful as antiviral and antibiotic agents.
本发明公开了一种高产率生产2ʹ,3ʹ-二脱氧核苷(如2ʹ,3ʹ-二脱氧
胞苷)的新工艺。更特别的是,可以获得 2ʹ,3ʹ-二脱氧核苷的各种立体异构体。α-和β-(L)-2ʹ,3ʹ-二脱氧核苷以及某些α-(D)-2ʹ,3ʹ-二脱氧核苷是以前未曾获得的立体
化学纯化合物。这些化合物可用作抗病毒剂和抗生素。
