  • Preparation of 2',3'-didehydro-3'-deoxythymidine from 5-methyluridine
    Patent number: 5672698
    Abstract: An economical process, amenable to large-scale production, is disclosed for the preparation of 2',3'-didehydro-3'-deoxythymidine (d4T) from 5-methyluridine. The process employs a novel, 5'-,acyl-2'.alpha.-halo-3'.alpha.-alkanesulfonylthymidine intermediate as well as a highly efficient and practical deprotection, isolation and purification procedure for the d4T product.

  • Process for preparing AZT
    Patent number: 5466787
    Abstract: A process for preparing AZT and comprising the steps of:a) reacting a 2'-halo-5'-protected pyrimidinyl 2'-deoxyribonucleoside having a 3'-sulfonyl group with tributyl tin hydride and catalytic amount of azobisisobutyronitrile in an ether, ester, or ketone solvent to yield a dehalogenated pyrimidinyl 2'-deoxyribonucleoside; followed byb) reacting said dehalogentated pyrimidinyl 2'-deoxynucleoside formed in step (a) with a base, a lithium salt, and an azide salt to yield a 5'-protected pyrimidinyl 3'-dideoxy-3'-azido-ribonucleoside; andc) deprotecting the nucleoside derivative of step (b) to yield 3'-dideoxy-3'-azidothymidine.
