Uridine 5 -chloro-5 -deoxy-, preparation

Azido and 3 -amino analogues of 2 -deoxy-5-substituted uridine and cytidine, together with 3 -amino-5 -fluoro-thymidine, have been prepared by standard procedures using 3 -0-mesyl ester intermediates the most active anti-cancer compounds were the 3 -amino-5-fluoro analogues of 2 -deoxyuridine and 2 -deoxycytidine cuid the 3 -amino analogue of 2 -deoxycytidine.An alternative doubleinversion sequence at C-3 using a 3 -chloro-3 -deoxyxylo-nucleo-side intermediate has been described for the preparation of 3 -...
