Continuous flow photocatalysis enhanced using an aluminum mirror: rapid and selective synthesis of 2'-deoxy and 2',3'-dideoxynucleosides.

A unique photochemical flow reactor featuring quartz tubing, an aluminum mirror and temperature control has been developed for the photo-induced electron-transfer deoxygenation reaction to produce 2'-deoxy and 2',3'-dideoxynucleosides. The continuous flow format significantly increased the efficiency and selectivity of the reaction.
