Natural and unnatural modified nucleosides and nucleotides play important roles in biology, medicine, and as biomedical research tools. Reported herein is an application of synthetic methodology developed for the stereo- and regiospecific introduction of structural modifications at the 2′-position of uridine nucleosides. A novel class of modified nucleosides, 2′-alkoxylamino-2′-deoxy uridines, are prepared by intramolecular nucleophilic addition of a 3′-tethered alkoxycarbamate nucleophile to the 2′-position with concomitant opening of a 2,2′-anhydrouridine. |
