Synthetic routes for naturally-occurring arsenic-containing ribosides

The synthesis of (R)-2′,3′-dihydroxypropyl 5-deoxy-5-dimethylarsinoyl-β-d-riboside, (S)-2′-hydroxy-3′-sulfonylpropyl 5-deoxy-5-dimethylarsinoyl-β-d-riboside and (S)-2′-hydroxy-3′-sulfooxypropyl 5-deoxy-5-dimethylarsinoyl-β-d-riboside, common naturally-occurring arsenicals in algae and molluscs, is reported.
