A new and efficient synthesis of cytidine and adenosine derivatives by dimethyldioxirane oxidation of thiopyrimidine and thiopurine nucleosides
Abstract
Dimethyldioxirane oxidation of thiopyrimidine and thiopurine nucleosides, in the presence of amines in stoichiometric amount, afforded selectively and under mild experimental conditions cytidine and adenosine nucleosides.
