title: Synthesis and anticancer activity of 5'-phthaloylnucleosides.
abstract: A series of novel 5'-phthaloylnucleosides were synthesized via Mitsunobu reaction starting from AZT or 2'-deoxyadenosine and numerous phthalimides and their sulphur analogues-thioimides. Some of them showed significant anticancer activity.
