Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 250 mg of 5'-[2(RS)-(2,4-dichlorophenylthio)propionamido]-2',5'-dideoxy-5-ethyluridine in 10 ml of acetic acid was cooled to 0° C. and 60 ml of 30% hydrogen peroxide were added. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 0.5 hour and then at room temperature overnight. An additional 60 mg of 30% hydrogen peroxide were added and the mixture was stirred for 24 hours. An additional 30 mg of 30% hydrogen peroxide were added and the mixture was stirred for an additional 4 hours and then evaporated to dryness. The residue was triturated with methanol and the resulting solid was removed by filtration and recrystallized from methanol to give 90 mg of 5'-[2(RS)-(2,4-dichlorophenylsulphinyl)propionamido]-2',5'-dideoxy-5-ethyluridine in the form of a white solid of melting point 208°-209° C.
