Abstract

Abstract The Jones' transient method for the synthesis of N-benzoylated nucleosides is improved by reducing the amounts of chlorotrimethylsilane (TMSCl) and benzoyl chloride to nearly equivalent quantities. The easy work-up and high yields of products are the major advantages of this approach. Jones' method is further simplified by omitting the addition of ammonium hydroxide. The utility of this modification for the preparation of some useful ...
