A method to prepare 5'-monodeuterated nucleosides with various S/R-ratios is described. 5-Oxopentose derivatives synthesized from glucose were converted into 5-monodeuterated pentose derivatives by LiAID4 in the presence of various ligands. The stereoselectivities of the deuteration reactions were investigated under a variety of conditions, and the S/R-ratios of the 5-monodeuterated pentoses varied from 4 : 1 to 1 : 7.4. By mixing these 5-monodeuterated pentose derivatives, we have successfully synthesized thymidine with a defined S/R-ratio at C5'.
