Abstract
The instant invention is drawn to a method for manufacturing 2',3'-dideoxy-2',3'-didehydronucleoside compounds by reacting a ribonucleoside derivative wherein the hydroxyl in the 5'-position of the furanose ring of said ribonucleoside is protected by a silyl protective group, with an acid anhydride such as acetic anhydride in the presence of a catalyst such as hydrous zirconium oxide, and then subjecting the reaction product to decarboxylation. The decarboxylation can be effected by heating the reaction product. This method can be performed in a single step, and requires no reagents which are expensive or chemicals which should be handled with care. Hence, it serves to manufacture 2',3'-dideoxy-2',3'-didehydronucleosides easily at low cost.
