The synthesis of 1,3-dioxolan-2-ylnucleosides and related chemistry is described. We have shown that 2-methoxy-1,3-dioxolane (6) reacts with silylated thymine and trimethylsilyl triflate to give the acyclic formate ester 1-[2-(formyloxy)ethyl]thymine (8) rather than 1-(1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)thymine (7). A tentative mechanism which could explain
