1,2:5,6-Di-O-isopropylidene glucofuranose on mild oxidation, reduction, fluorination and deisopropylidenation followed by acetylation gave peracetylated 3-deoxy-3-fluoro-alpha-D-glucopyranose. This was coupled with silylated 5 fluorouracil. The nucleoside was deacetylated and after several subsequent protection and deprotection and final oxidation afforded the title compound.
