title: Synthesis of novel D- and L-3'-deoxy-3'-C-hydroxymethyl nucleoside with exocyclic methylene as potential ribonucleotide reductase inhibitor.
abstract: D- and L-3'-Deoxy-3'-C-hydroxymethyl thymidine substituted with exocyclic methylene at 2'-position were synthesized, starting from D- and L-xylose as potential ribonucleotide reductase inhibitor, respectively, but they were found to be inactive against several tumor cell lines.
