Patent number: 7388094Abstract: 1-?-D-Arabinofuranosyluracil in 3?,5?-hydroxyl-protected form is reacted with a trifluoromethanesulfonylating agent in the presence of an organic base to convert it into a 2?-triflate form, and then it is reacted with a fluorinating agent containing “a salt or complex formed by an organic base and hydrofluoric acid” to produce 2?-deoxy-2?-fluorouridine in 3?,5?-hydroxyl-protected form. A deprotecting agent is further caused to act thereon to obtain 2?-deoxy-2?-fluorouridine. The 2?-deoxy-2?-fluorouridine obtained can efficiently be purified by temporarily converting it into a 3?,5?-diacetyl form, recrystallizing the 3?,5?-diacetyl form, and then deacetylating it. Thus, high-purity 2?-deoxy-2?-fluorouridine can be produced.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2004Date of Patent: June 17, 2008Assignee: Central Glass Company LimitedInventors: Akihiro Ishii, Takashi Ootsuka, Masatomi Kanai, Yokusu Kuriyama, Manabu Yasumoto, Kenjin Inomiya, Koji Ueda
