Abstract
Attempts for the synthesis of 2'-deoxy-2'-fluoro nucleoside derivative of 3'-C-methyluridine were reported. The corresponding parent nucleoside was chosen as the starting material. However, the 2'-deoxy-2'-fluoro nucleoside was not obtained. Nevertheless, the new and unexpected nucleoside derivatives obtained as well as some proposals of mechanism regarding their formation will be presented.
