Efficient synthesis of 5-hydroxymethyl-, 5-formyl-, and 5-carboxyl-2′-deoxycytidine and their triphosphates†
Abstract
An efficient P(V)-N activation strategy for the preparation of high-quality 5-hydroxymethyl-, 5-formyl-, and 5-carboxyl-2′-deoxycytidine triphosphates has been developed. The method was also optimized for gram-scale synthesis of the corresponding parent nucleosides from 2′-deoxythymidine.
