title: Synthesis and biological activity of unusual nucleosides having 3,4-bis(hydroxymethyl) thietane ring as a sugar moiety.
abstract: The enantiomerically pure synthesis of 9-[(2'S, 3'S)-bis(hydroxymethyl)thietan-1'-yl]adenine 2,3'-thio analog of oxetanocin A, was achieved via coupling of silylated 6-chloropurine and sulfoxide 16 under Pummerer reaction conditions.
