Abstract
The 5‐OH‐protected methyl glycosides 2 and 3 were epimerized to give the corresponding epimers 6 and 7 via an oxidation‐reduction procedure. Reaction of 6 with diethylamino‐sulfur trifluoride (DAST) afforded the fluoro sugar 8, which was coupled with thymine to give 3′‐deoxy‐3′‐fluorothymidine (12) after deprotection with saturated ammonia in methanol.

## Abstract Although 3′‐deoxy‐3′‐[^18^F]fluorothymidine ([^18^F]FLT) is a prospective radiopharmaceutical for the imaging of proliferating tumor cell, it is difficult to prepare large amount of [^18^F]FLT. We herein describe the preparation of [^18^F]FLT in an ionic liquid, [bmim][OTf] (1‐butyl‐3‐m
