title: Synthesis and biological activity of 4'-thio-2'-deoxy purine nucleosides.
abstract: Coupling of 1-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-3,5-di-O-toluoyl-4-thio-D-ribofuranose with 6-chloropurine and 2,6-dichloropurine gave a mixture of 9 alpha and 9 beta anomers as major products. These anomers were separated and converted to 2'-deoxy-4'-thio analogues of adenosine, inosine, guanosine, 2-amino-adenosine, and 2-chloro adenosine as well as their alpha-anomers.
