C1′ Acylated Derivatives of 2′-Deoxyuridine. Photolabile Precursors of 2′-Deoxyuridin-1′-yl

Abstract
C1′ acylated derivatives of 2′-dcoxyuiidinc (1a-c) were synthesised from 1-[3-deoxy-β-D-psieofiiraiiosylliii.acil (6). The acyl group is introduced via the C1′ aldehyde (11). Following nucleophilic addition, the ketones (1a-c) are obtained via periodinane oxidation and desilylation with NH4F.
