title: Synthesis of 4'-C-Ethynyl-β-D-ribo-pentofuranosyl Pyrimidines.
abstract: The 4'-C-ethynyl-β-D-ribo-pentofuranosylpyrimidines were prepared from D-glucose through properly protected 4'-C-formyl-D-ribo-ribofuranose as the key intermediate, and preliminary biological tests against some viruses and tumor cells showed that the compounds were not active.
