Finally, the first total synthesis of stavudine has also been described: Starting from epoxide (XXXIII), readily available in four steps from crotonaldehyde, compound (XXXIV) is obtained after reaction with selenophenol and diethylaluminum fluoride in dichloromethane. Reaction of (XXXIV) with hydrochloric acid in methanol-dichloromethane gives (XXXV), which is acetylated to give (XXXVI). Introduction of silylated thymine (XXIII) catalyzed by tert-butyldimethylsilyl triflate in dichloromethane affords compound (XXXVII), which is converted to (XXXVIII) on treatment with m-chloroperbenzoic acid in dichloromethane. Deprotection of (XXXVIII) provides an anomeric mixture of stavudine and its alpha-anomer (XXXIX).
