deblocked with MeOH-NH3 to give the desired free anomeric nucleoside pairs 1, 5 and 3, 7, respectively. These were selectively converted to the corresponding 5'-monophosphates 2, 6 and 4, 8, with the aid of the wheat shoot phosphotransferase system. Conformations of the nucleosides 1, 3, 5, 7 are deduced from 1H NMR spectra, and circulardichroismspectra for nucleotide anomeric pairs 2, 6 and 4, 8 are reported

A stereoselective glycosylation procedure is described for the synthesis of protected alpha- and beta-2'-deoxy-2-thiouridine (dS2U) in 68% and 94% yield, respectively. Evidence is presented that suggests the reaction proceeds through a silylated thioglycoside intermediate. This intermediate undergoes an efficient S2-->N1 rearrangement mediated by SnCl4. The phosphoramidite and phosphodiester synthons and a dS2U dinucleotide are also synthesized and the X-ray structure of beta-dS2U is presented.
Desulfurization of 2-thiouracil nucleosides: Conformational studies of 4-pyrimidinone nucleosides
4-Pyrimidinone ribofuranoside (H(2)o(4)U) and 4-pyrimidinone 2 '-deoxyribofuranoside (dH(2)o(4)U) were synthesized by the oxidative desulfurization of parent 2-thiouracil nucleosides with m-chloroperbenzoic acid. The crystal structures of H(2)o(4)U and dH(2)o(4)U and their conformations in solution were determined and compared with corresponding 2-thiouracil and uracil nucleosides. The absence of a large 2-thiocarbonyl/2-carbonyl group in the nucleobase moiety results in C2'-endo puckering of the ribofuranose ring (S conformer) in the crystal structure of H(2)o(4)U, which is not typical of RNA nucleosides. Interestingly, the hydrogen bonding network in the crystals of dH(2)o(4)U stabilizes the sugar moiety conformation in the C3'-endo form (N conformer), rarely found in DNA nucleosides. In aqueous solution, dH(2)o(4)U reveals a similar population of the C2'-endo conformation (65%) to that of 2'-deoxy-2-thiouridine (62%), while the 62% population of the S conformer for H(2)o(4)U is significantly different from that of the parent 2-thiouridine, for which the N conformer is dominant (71%). Such a difference may be of biological importance, as the desulfurization process of natural tRNA 2-thiouridines may occur under conditions of oxidative stress in the cell and may influence the decoding process.

Synthesis and Biological Activity of 5-Fluoro-2-thiocytosine Nucleosides
Two pathways are described for the synthesis of the 2'-deoxynucleosides of 2-thiocytosine and 5-fluoro-2-thiocytosine: (a) by nucleoside condensation, (b) by amination of the corresponding nucleosides of 2,4-dithiouracil. Biological activities vs two cell systems are described. The nucleosides are moderate to weak substrates of deoxycytidine kinase and, partly as a result of this, reasonable good inhibitors of the enzyme
