Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF00808508

The iodide 4(α) or 7 synthesized in three steps from 2-deoxy-D-ribose 1, has been subjected to a number of nucleophilic substitution reactions producing the 3-benzoylthio-, 3-methylthio- and the 3-thiocyanato-2,3-dideoxy-D-erythro-pentofuranosides 8, 13 a
