The synthesis of [1'-14C]-labeled stavudine has been published: The reaction of labeled D-ribofuranose (I) first with methanol and acetyl chloride and then with benzoyl chloride gives 2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-1-O-methyl-D-ribofuranoside (II), which is acetylated with acetic anhydride and acetic acid to 1-O-acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-beta-D-ribofuranoside (III). The condensation of (III) with thymine (IV) by means of hexamethyldisylazane (HMDS), trimethylsilyl chloride (TMS-Cl) and trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, followed by a basic hydrolysis with NaOMe affords 1-(beta-D-ribofuranosyl)thymine (V), which is treated with methanesulfonyl chloride in pyridine giving the trimesylate (VI). The reaction of (VI) with sodium benzoate in hot DMF yields the benzoylated internal ether (VII), which is treated with acetyl bromide in acetic acid/HBr affording 1-[2-bromo-2-deoxy-5-O-benzoyl-3-O-(methanesulfonyl)-beta-D-ribofuranos yl]thymine (VIII). The reaction of (VIII) with Zn in the same solvent as before gives 5'-O-benzoylstavudine (IX), which is finally debenzoylated with NaOCH3 in methanol.
