Abstract

Several β-D-ribonucleosides are stereoselectively synthesized in high yields from methyl 2, 3, 5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl carbonate and trimethylsilylated nucleoside bases such as pertrimethylsilylated uracil and adenine under mild conditions by using a catalytic amount of tin (II) chloride, a weak Lewis acid.
