A suitably protected 4-C-hydroxymethyl-arabino-pentofuranose was prepared and condensed with the following nucleobases: uracil, 5-fluorouracil and thymine. The corresponding cytosine and 5-fluorocytosine derivatives have also been obtained respectively from the uracil and 5-fluorouracil nucleosides. Separation of the anomeric mixtures followed by deprotection afforded the target compounds that were found to be non-cytotoxic to CCRF-CEM leukemia cells.
