The [4-thio]-S-ribosylhomocysteine (SRH) analogs containing substitution of a sulfur atom for the endocyclic oxygen were synthesized by coupling of the 4-thioribose substrates with a thiolate generated from the protected homocysteine. Coupling of the protected 1-deoxy-5-O-mesyl-S-oxo-4-thio-D-ribofuranose with homocysteinate salt gave the C4 epimers of [4-thio]-SRH at the sulfoxide oxidation level lacking a hydroxyl group at anomeric carbon. Treatment of these sulfoxides with BF3⋅Et2O/NaI affect ...[more]
