title: Synthesis of 3'-C-hydroxymethyl-substituted pyrimidine and purine nucleosides as potential anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) agents.
abstract: On the basis of potent anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) activity of 2'-C-hydroxymethyladenosine, 3'-C-hydroxymethyl-substituted pyrimidine and purine nucleosides as potential anti-HCV agents were designed and synthesized from D-xylose via stereoselective Grignard reaction and conversion of the vinyl into hydroxymethyl group as key steps.
