A practical 7-step synthesis of benzyl 3,5-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-1,4-dithio-D-erythro-pentofuranoside is described and the product has been used in the synthesis of some 4'-thio-2'-deoxynucleosides. These novel nucleoside analogues have potentially useful biological activity and are resistant to phosphorolysis.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D003853	Deoxyribonucleosides	A purine or pyrimidine base bonded to DEOXYRIBOSE.
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D000998	Antiviral Agents	Agents used in the prophylaxis or therapy of VIRUS DISEASES. Some of the ways they may act include preventing viral replication by inhibiting viral DNA polymerase; binding to specific cell-surface receptors and inhibiting viral penetration or uncoating; inhibiting viral protein synthesis; or blocking late stages of virus assembly.
