A series of four 2'-azido-2', 3'-dideoxypyrimidine nucleosides were synthesized and their activity against human immunodeficiency virus was explored. 2, 2'-Anhydro-5-0-benzoyluridine (6a) was prepared from 5-O-benzoyluridine (5a) and converted into 3'-deoxy analogue 8a by imidazolylthiocarbonylation followed by Bu3SnH reduction. Treatment of 8a with LiN3 in DMF followed by saponification afforded 2'-azido-2', 3'-dideoxyuridine (la). The 5'-0-benzoylated nucleoside 9a was further converted into the 5-bromo and 5-iodo analogues (lb and lc) by halogenation and debenzoylation. 2', 3'-0-Isopropylideneuridine (3) was converted in two steps into the thymine nucleoside, which was benzoylated and de-O-isopropylidenated to afford 5'-0-benzoyl-5-methyluridine (5d). 2'-Azido-2', 3'-dideoxy-5-methyluridine (Id) was synthesized from 5d in a similar manner as that used for the synthesis of la from 5a. These new nucleosides, closely related to AZT, however, did not exhibit any significant anti-HIV activity intissue culture using H9 cells.Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has been recog-nized as the etiologic agent of aquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). 2 Nucleoside analogues, such as 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine (AZT) 3 and other 2', 3'-dideoxy-nucleosides (DDN) 4 are thus far the most active against this retrovirus in vitro. Although the exact mechanism of action of these nucleoside analogues is not fully under-stood, Furman et al. 5 has shown that AZT is converted to its corresponding triphosphate by cellular enzymes and this triphosphate acts as a competitive inhibitor of the reverse transcriptase (RT) of HIV. In addition, selective inhibition of RT was demonstrated due to the higher affinity ofAZT triphosphate for the reverse transcriptase than for cellular
