title: Synthesis and antiviral evaluation of the beta-L-enantiomers of some thymine 3'-deoxypentofuranonucleoside derivatives.
abstract: 3'-Deoxy-beta-L-erythro- (3), 3'-deoxy-beta-L-threo- (6), 2'-fluoro- (7) and 2'-azido-2',3'-dideoxy-beta-L-erythro- (10) pentofuranonucleoside derivatives of thymine have been synthesized and their antiviral properties examined. All these derivatives were stereospecifically prepared by glycosylation of thymine with a suitable peracylated 3-deoxy-L-erythro-pentofuranose sugar (1), followed by appropriate chemical modifications. The prepared compounds were tested for their activity against HIV, but they did not show an antiviral effect.
