Six products were isolated by reverse phase HPLC from the reaction of thymidine with osmium tetroxide. Four of the products were identified as stereoisomers of 5,6-dihydro-5,6-dihydroxy-thymidine (TG). The absolute configurations of these four compounds (from the shortest to the longest HPLC retention times) were determined by two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to be (-)-trans-5S,6S-, (+)-trans-5R,6R-, (-)-cis-5R,6S-, and (+)-cis-5S,6R-5,6-dihydro-5,6-dihydroxy-thymidine. The other two products were dimers with unknown linking sites. Parameters of the mass and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra are reported and discussed.
