Nucleosides Nucleotides. 1999 Oct;18(10):2301-6. doi: 10.1080/07328319908044882.

Abstract

A synthesis of 1-(beta-D-ribofuranosyl)-pyridin-2-thiones via reaction of 3-cyanopyridin-2(1H)-thiones with 2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-D-ribofuranosyl bromide under basic conditions, followed by hydrolysis with methanolic ammonia is reported.
