The Pfitzner‐Moffatt oxidation of 6‐chloro‐9‐(2,3‐ O ‐isopropylidene‐β‐D‐ribofuranosyl)purine, 9‐(2,3‐ O ‐isopropylidene‐β‐D‐ribofuranosyl)‐6‐(methylthio)purine, and 2′,3′‐ O ‐isopropylideneadenosine gave the corresponding 5′‐aldehydes (3, 13, and 4), which were allowed to react with a number of Wittig ylids. The resulting olefins, primarily trans , were reduced either catalytically or with diimide before removal of the 2′,3′‐ O ‐isopropylidene groups to give the desired 5′‐substituted purine ribonucleosides.
