Procedure
In one synthesis method, depicted in FIG. 1a, the synthesis comprises reacting cytosine, BSA and SnCl4/acetonitrile with 1,2,3,5-tetra-O-benzoyl-2-C-methyl-β-D-ribofuranose (1) to form 4-amino-1-(3,4-dibenzoyloxy-5-benzoyloxymethyl-3-methyl-tetrahydro-furan-2-yl)-1H-pyrimidin-2-one (2); and reacting (2) with NaOMe/MeOH to provide 4-amino-1-(3,4-dihydroxy-5-hydroxymethyl-3-methyl-tetrahydro-furan-2-yl)-1H-pyrimidin-2-one (3), also known as 2-C-methyl-β-D-ribofuranose. The use of cytosine as a starting material rather than benzoyl-cytosine improves the “atom economy” of the process and simplifies purification at later steps.
