Abstract

This invention pertains to novel methods of synthesizing fludarabine, fludarabine phosphate and related nucleoside pharmacologic agents utilizing 6-azido-2-fluoropurine as a novel intermediate. In particular this invention pertains to a synthesis of fludarabine where the relatively low yield fluorination step is done before the costly coupling step.
