Preparation of a 4′‐Thiouridine Building‐Block for Solid‐Phase Oligonucleotide Synthesis (2023)
Journal Article
Benckendorff, C. M. M., Sanghvi, Y. S., & Miller, G. J. (2023). Preparation of a 4′‐Thiouridine Building‐Block for Solid‐Phase Oligonucleotide Synthesis. Current Protocols in Neuroscience, 3(9), e878. https://doi.org/10.1002/cpz1.878

Starting from a commercially available thioether, we report a nine‐step synthesis of a 4′‐thiouridine phosphoramidite building‐block. We install the uracil nucleobase using Pummerer‐type glycosylation of a sulfoxide intermediate followed by a series...

Chemical synthesis of fluorinated carbocyclic nucleoside analogues (2023)
Thesis
Benckendorff, C. M. M. (2023). Chemical synthesis of fluorinated carbocyclic nucleoside analogues. (Thesis). Keele University. Retrieved from https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/529473

Since the discovery of their pharmaceutical potential, nucleoside analogues have become one of the most important classes of chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of many cancers and viral infections. In many chronic illnesses, such as HBV or HIV... Read More about Chemical synthesis of fluorinated carbocyclic nucleoside analogues.

Chemical Diversification of Carbocyclic Fluorinated Pyrimidine Nucleosides: Introducing 2'-Arabino Analogues and Ring Unsaturation (2023)
Journal Article
Benckendorff, C. M. M., Hawes, C. S., Smith, M., & Miller, G. J. (2023). Chemical Diversification of Carbocyclic Fluorinated Pyrimidine Nucleosides: Introducing 2'-Arabino Analogues and Ring Unsaturation. SYNLETT, 35(06), 659-664. https://doi.org/10.1055/a-2079-9310

Analogues of the canonical nucleosides have a longstanding presence and proven capability within medicinal chemistry and drug-discovery research. Herein, we report chemical diversification of carbocyclic pyrimidine nucleosides containing CF2 and CHF...
