Abstract: 1-Deoxyribose (5), prepared from D-ribose via methylation, silylation and reductive cleavage, was converted into cyclic sulfite(7). Reaction of 7 with NaN3 resulted in azide (8), which was converted to the isomeric deoxy adenosine, 4(R)-(6-amino-9H-purin-9-yl)-2(R)-(hydroxymethyl) tetrahy-drofuran-3(R)-ol (1) by a sequence of five high-yield reactions. Antiviral studies are in progress.
