The S,X-acetals in nucleoside chemistry: II. The synthesis of 3′-O-methylthiomethylribonucleosides

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF02758669

3′-O-Methylthiomethyl derivatives of ribonucleosides were synthesized from the selectively protected nucleosides by the action of a dimethyl sulfide-benzoyl peroxide mixture in acetonitrile or a dimethyl sulfoxide-acetic anhydride-acetic acid mixture.
