title: Synthesis of some 2'-fluoro-2'-deoxy-3'-C-ethynyl and 3'-C-vinyl-beta-D-lyxofuranosyl nucleosides.
abstract: 1-(2-Fluoro-2-deoxy-beta-D-drabinofuranosyl) uracil (5) and 1-(2-fluoro-2-deoxy-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl)cytosine (6) were synthesized as reported earlier. Both of these compounds were converted into 2'-fluoro-2'-deoxy-3'-C-ethynyl and 3'-C-vinyl-beta-D-lyxofuranosyl nuclearsides (16-19) by a multistep sequence. All these new nucleosides were evaluated against seven human tumor cell lines in vitro.
