Starting with 1,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-2-deoxy-2-fluoro-α-D-arabinofuranose, a versatile method for the synthesis of 2,3-dideoxy-2-fluoro-β-D-threo-pentofuranosyl nucleosides is described and illustrated with the synthesis of 9-(2, 3-dideoxy-2-fluoro-β-D-threo-pentofuranosyl)adenine and 1-(2,3-dideoxy-2-fluoro-β-D-threo-pentofuranosyl)cytosine. In this approach, the deoxygenation of the 3′-OH function is performed at the sugar stage of the synthesis prior to coupling with the purine or pyrimidine base.
