4',5'-Epoxythymidine (4) was obtained as a single diastereoisomer by oxidation of 3'-O-(t-butyldimethylsilyl)-4',5'-dehydrothymidine (3) with dimethyldioxirane. When the epoxide 4 was treated with allyltrimethylsilane in the presence of SnCl4, regio- (at the C4') and stereoselective (from the alpha-face) cleavage of the oxirane ring proceeded to afford a 4'-C-alpha-allylated derivative (5) as a sole product. In the reaction of 4 with trimethylaluminum, 4'-C-beta-methyl derivative (8) was obtained as a major product.
