Nucleosides Nucleotides Nucleic Acids. 2005;24(5-7):1115-7. doi: 10.1081/ncn-200060072.
Novel thioiso pyrimidine and purine nucleosides substituted with exocyclic methylene have been synthesized, starting from D-xylose. Cyclization of the dimesylate to the 4-thiosugar 6a proceeded in pure SN2 reaction in the presence of allylic functional group.
