Abstract:
I-P-D-Ribofuranosyl-5-ethoxycarbonyl-4-hydroxy- 1,2-dihydropyrid-2-one has been synthesized starting from 2,4-dihydroxy-5-. The monomercury derivative of the starting compound on condensation with 2,3,5-tri-O-chloride affords which on debenzoylation in the presence of catalytic amount of sodium methoxide in the furnishes the desired nucleoside.
