3′-Azido-4′-ethynyl-3′,5′dideoxy-5′- norarabinouridine 10 was synthesized from commercial uridine 1 in which the key step is the opening of protected 2′,3′-epoxyuridine derivative 7 by sodium azide and the hydroxymethyl at 4-position of the ribose ring are replaced by ethynyl group.
Preparation and cleavage reactions of 3′-thiouridylyl-(3′→5′)-uridine

3′-Thiouridylyl-(3′→5′)-uridine [(Us)pU] 3 is prepared by coupling together the disulfide 14 and the 5′-H-phosphonate 18, and then removing the protecting groups. (Us)pU 3 readily undergoes cleavage in 0.05 mol dm-3 sodium glycinate buffer (pH 10.06) at 50 °C to give, in the first instance, uridine 4 and 3′-thiouridine 2′,3′-cyclic phosphorothioate 21; in glacial acetic acid at 30 °C, it rapidly undergoes cleavage in essentially the same way. The behaviour of (Us)pU 3 is compared with that of uridylyl-(3′→5′)-uridine (UPU) 1a under the same basic and acidic reaction conditions. (Us)pU 3 and 3′-thiouridine 2′,3′-cyclic phosphorothioate 21 are both substrates for ribonuclease A; (Us)pU 3 is a substrate for Crotalus adamanteus snake venom phosphodiesterase but not for calf spleen phosphodiesterase.
Synthesis of 2′,3′-didehydro-2′,3′-dideoxynucleosides by reaction of 5′-protected nucleoside 2′,3′-dimesylates with telluride dianion: A general route from cis vicinal diols to olefins

2′,3′-Dimesylates of 5′-protected nucleosides are converted into the corresponding 2′,3′-didehydro2′,3′-dideoxy compounds by treatment with telluride dianion in the form of the sodium or lithium salt. The method is well-suited to the preparation of unsaturated nucleosides that can be converted into compounds that are believed to be useful in the treatment of AIDS. The deoxygenation is general for vicinal dimesylates that have, or may adopt, a synperiplanar conformation. With straight chain compounds the reaction is stereospecific. In some cases, similar, but slower, deoxygenations can be performed with selenide dianion.
