A general and diastereoselective fluorination/glycosylation strategy for the synthesis of 2'-fluorinated nucleosides has been developed. Electrophilic fluorination of a glycal with NFSI provided the 1',2'-difunctionalized furanoside intermediate with high diastereoselectivity. The TBS-protected 2'-deoxyfluorosulfonimide sugar was prepared on an 80 g scale and isolated as a crystalline, bench-stable single diastereomer. This intermediate was found to undergo a subsequent glycosylation reaction with a variety of heteroaryl nucleophiles with generally good diastereoselectivities.
