Abstract

Silylated 4‐methylthiouracil and 4‐methylthiothymine were condensed in the presence of TMS triflate with methyl 2,3‐dideoxy‐3‐fluoro‐5‐O‐(4‐phenylbenzoyl)‐D‐erythro‐pentofuranoside (3) and methyl 3‐azido‐5‐O‐(tert‐butyldiphenylsilyl)‐2,3‐dideoxy‐D‐erythro‐pentofuroside (8), respectively, to give the corresponding nucleosides which were deprotected. The 3′‐azido nucleoside was reduced with triphenylphosphine to the corresponding 3′‐amino nucleoside. The 3′‐amino nucleoside was also obtained by condensation of 4‐methylthiothymidine with a 3‐phthalimido sugar 14 followed by deprotection. The 4‐methylthio analogue 11 of AZT showed moderate activity against HIV.
