For the synthesis of 2',3'-didehydro-3'-deoxy-4'-ethynylthymidine (8: 4'-Ed4T), a recently reported promising anti-HIV agent, a new approach was developed. Since treatment of 1-(2,5-dideoxy-beta-L-glycero-pent-4-enofuranosyl)thymine with Pb(OBz)4 allowed the introduction of the 4'-benzoyloxy leaving group, nucleophilic substitution at the 4'-position became feasible for the first time. Thus, reaction between the 4'-benzoyloxy derivative (14) and Me3SiCCAl(Et)Cl as a nucleophile led to the isolation of the desired 4'-"down"-ethynyl derivative (18) stereoselectively in 62% yield. As an application of this approach, other 4'-substituted nucleosides, such as the 4'-allyl (24a) and 4'-cyano (26a) derivatives, were synthesized using organosilicon reagents. In these instances, pretreatment of 14 with MeAlCl2 was necessary.

D007202 Indicators and Reagents Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.
