title: 4-Thiofuranoid glycals: versatile synthons for stereoselective synthesis of 4'-thionucleosides.
abstract: Beta-anomers of 4'-thionucleosides have been synthesized stereoselectively, through PhSeCl- or N-iodosuccimide (NIS)-initiated electrophilic glycosidation to 3,5-O-(di-t-butylsilylene)-4-thiofuranoid glycal (1). This synthetic method has been applied to the synthesis of those analogues branched at the anomeric position using 1-C-carbon-substituted 3,5-O-(tetraisopropyldisiloxane-1,3-diyl)-4-thiofuranoid glycals (11-14) prepared based on lithiation of 10.
