Free radicals generated by reaction of protected methyl 2,3-dideoxy-3-iodopentofuranosides 2, 3, and 9 with tributyltin hydride in the presence of a radical initiator (AIBN) were treated with acrolein to give methyl 2,3-dideoxy-3-(3-oxopropyl)pentofuranosides 4 and 5.Reduction of 5 with sodium borohydride followed by protection of hydroxy groups by reaction with tert-butyl chlorodiphenylsilane gave the carbohydrate derivative 11 which was condensed with silylated thymine to afford a separable mixture of α- and β-nucleosides 13 and 14.These nucleosides were subsequently deprotected to give the 3'-propyl-extended thymidine 16 and its corresponding α-isomer 15. Key Words: Thymidine, 3'-deoxy-3'-(3-hydroxypropyl)- / Nucleoside synthesis / Carbohydrates, branched
