reactivity in deoxythymidine C3' vs C5'
« on: January 27, 2012, 11:48:42 AM »
I was told that in deoxythymidine the C5' is more reactive than the C3' of the furanose ring. why is that?

I sure heard about the C1 of sugars having a different reactivty due to the hemiacetalic group, but can't imagine why the C5 should be more reactive than the C3?
