Abstract

The synthesis of 3'-fluorinated apionucleosides 7 and 2'-fluoro-2',3'- unsaturated L-nucleosides 8 via common synthon, 2-fluoro-butenolide 2, has been described. Among the newly synthesized nucleosides, L-2'-F-d4C, L-2'-F- d4FC and L-2'-F-d4A exhibit significant anti-HIV and anti-HBV activities.
