Abstract

Abstract A robust, mild, and highly regioselective deacetylation of 1, 2-diol diacetates in the presence of other acetate functions was achieved by using tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride. This method provided a single-step route to access O5′-acetyl ribonucleosides, a key intermediate in the synthesis of biomedically important nucleosides and nucleotides. Moreover, it offered the general applicability of a non-enzymatic method for the selective ...
