[S,X-acetals in nucleoside chemistry. II. Synthesis 3'-O-methylthiomethyl derivatives of ribonucleosides]

Abstract

3'-O-Methylthiomethyl derivatives of ribonucleosides were synthesized from the selectively protected nucleosides by the action of a dimethyl sulfide-benzoyl peroxide mixture in acetonitrile or a dimethyl sulfoxide-acetic anhydride-acetic acid mixture.
