Catalytic Stereoselective Synthesis of β-Ribonucleosides from Methyl Ribofuranosyl Carbonate and Trimethylsilylated Nucleoside Bases by Combined Use of Silver Salts and Diphenyltin Sulfide

Abstract
Catalytic stereoselective synthesis of several ribonucleosides from 2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl methyl carbonate and trimethylsilylated nucleoside bases is efficiently carried out by combined use of silver salts and diphenyltin sulfide (Ph2Sn=S) under mild conditions.
