Abstract
The first synthesis of 1-(2-deoxy-3-methyl-beta-D-xylosyl)thymine from the unstable 5′-O-trityl-3′-keto-2′-deoxythymidine via a novel organometallic reagent is reported. The stereochemistry at the 3′ position is conclusively determined by chemical means. Some further transformations of the title product are described.
