title: Synthesis of 2'-O-substituted ribonucleosides.
abstract: An efficient synthesis of 2'-O-substituted ribonucleosides, including 2'-O-TBDMS and 2'-O-TOM protected as well as 2'-O-Me and 2'-O-allyl derivatives is presented. Di-t-butylsilylene group was employed for simultaneous protection of 3'- and 5'- hydroxyl functions of nucleoside on the first step. Subsequent silylation or alkylation of free 2'-OH followed by introduction of suitable protection on the base moiety and removal of cyclic silyl protection gave target compounds in a high yield.
