Chemical Conversion of Some Ribonucleosides into the Corresponding β-D-Arabinofuranosyl Derivatives1

Abstract
Five 3'',5''-di-O-acylribonucleosides were converted into the corresponding .beta.-D-arabinofuranosyl derivatives [known for their antiviral and antileukemic properties] through DMSO[dimethylsulfoxide]-oxidation followed by NaBH4 reduction and deacylation with NaOMe-MeOH.
