title: Synthetic study on 4C'-methyl nucleosides: Part I, Synthesis of 4C-methyl-D-ribofuranose derivative.
abstract: The 4C-methyl-D-ribofuranose derivative, a key intermediate for the synthesis of 4C'-methyl nucleosides, was prepared from D-glucose via regioselective benzylation of hydroxymethyl groups and the reduction of iodide made from the remaining hydroxymethyl group.
