Hydrofluorination of anhydrothymidine via soluble aluminum derivatives
Green,Blum
, p. 2091 - 2094 (1991)
A new method to stereospecifically hydrofluorinate anhydrothymidine has been discovered which allows the product to be obtained in higher yields than the current literature method.

A series of 5-(trifluoroethoxymethyl)-2′,3′-dideoxyuridines and 5-[bis(trifluormethoxy)-methyl]-2′,3′-dideoxyuridines have been prepared and screened for antiviral activity. The conformations of these compounds are discussed on the bases of NOE studies and the MO calculations. Modelling and NOE studies suggest both syn- and anti conformations for these 5-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxymethyl)- and 5-[bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)-methyl]-derivatives. The NOE parameters are also suggested to be more attributable to the nature of the fluorine atom than to structural or conformational changes. Compounds 17, 26 and 30 showed some activity in anti-HIV-1 and anti-HIV-2 assays, but the compounds were devoid of activity against HSV and human rhinovirus. The compounds tested exhibited low cytotoxicity and were inactive against a bank of cancer cells in vitro.
Synthesis and evaluation of thymidine-5′-O-monophosphate analogues as inhibitors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis thymidylate kinase
Vanheusden, Veerle,Munier-Lehmann, Helene,Pochet, Sylvie,Herdewijn, Piet,Van Calenbergh, Serge
, p. 2695 - 2698 (2007/10/03)
A number of 2′- and 3′-modified thymidine 5′-O-monophosphate analogues were synthesized as potential leads for new anti-mycobacterial drugs. Evaluation of their affinity for Mycobacterium tuberculosis thymidine monophosphate kinase showed that a 2′-halogeno substituent and a 3′-azido function are the most favorable leads for further development of potent inhibitors of this enzyme.
Synthesis of 3'-fluoro-3'-deoxythymidine and studies of its 18F-radiolabeling, as a tracer for the noninvasive monitoring of the biodistribution of drugs against AIDS

3'-Fluoro-3'-deoxy-thymidine (FDT), a fluorinated analog of 3'-azido-thymidine (AZT), is both more active against the HIV virus but also more toxic than AZT.Because of its fluorine atom, it can be labeled with 18F to be used to monitor this drug's biodistribution and targeting.A new synthesis for FDT, suited for 18F labeling, has been developed.After protecting the 5'-hydroxy group with a trityl group, the 3'-hydroxy group was substituted with a mesyl group in the lyxo configuration.Treatment with 18F potassium fluoride and crown-18 ether yielded the 18F-labeled fluoro derivative which on detritylation afforded 18F FDT with 7percent labeling efficiency.This is the first reported synthesis of 3'-fluoro-5'-O-trityl deoxythymidine using potassium fluoride and preparing its 18F labeled analog.The time required to incorporate 18F in the intermediate compound and isolate the end-product is reasonably short (approximately 2 h) which will allow sufficient time to conduct biological studies with this short-lived radionuclide.
