An improved synthesis of N2-protected-3′-azido-2′ ,3′-dideoxyguinosine 20 and 23 is described. Deoxygenation of 2′-O-alkyl (and/or aryl) sulfonyl-5′-dimethoxytritylguanosine coupled with [1,2]-hydride shift rearrangement gave protected 9-(2-deoxythreo-pentofuranosyl)guanines (10, 12 and 16). This rearrangement was accomplished in high yield with a high degree of stereoselectivity using lithium triisobutylborohydride (L-Selectride R). Compounds 10, 12 and 16 were transformed into 3′-O-mesylates (18 and 21), which can be used for 3′-substitution. The 3′-azido nucleosides were obtained by treatment of 18 and 21 with lithium azide. This procedure is reproducible with a good overall yield.
