Abstract
Potassium iodide supported on natural phosphate in HMDS was used as a promotor in the condensation of 1-O-acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-ribofuranose with trimethylsilylated nucleobases, under mild conditions, to provide several D-ribonucleosides.
Keywords: Natural phosphate, potassium iodide, nucleosides
