Abstract

The nucleoside analogue, L-FMUS was synthesized from L-FMAU which has been shown to have significant antiviral activity against hepatitis B virus (HBV). It was prepared by two steps. First, 5'hydroxyl of L-FMAU was substituted by thioacetyl group using diisopropylazodicarboxylate(DIAD), Triphenyl phosphine(PPh3) and thioacetic acid in anhydrous THF. (omitted)
