Two shimofuridin analogs: 2'-O-(4-O-stearoyl-alpha-L-fucopyranosyl)thymidine (2) and -uridine (3) have been synthesized using D-arabinose, L-fucose, thymine, uracil, and stearoyl chloride as the starting materials. The synthetic procedures involve the facile preparation of 1-(3,5-di-O-benzyl-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)thymine (9) and -uracil (10) by coupling of 1,2-anhydro-3,5-di-O-benzyl-alpha-D-ribofuranose
