One-step synthesis of 5′-azido-nucleosides

Abstract
Regioselective azidation of unprotected or appropriately protected nucleosides was conducted by means of the reagent triphenylphosphine–carbon tetrabromide–lithium azide. By use of this reagent, 5′-azido-5′-deoxynucleosides were prepared conveniently in one step from nucleosides in high yields. Secondary hydroxy-groups of appropriately 5′-protected nucleosides were also converted by the reagent to azido-functions with complete inversion.
