Science - Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng / anti-retroviral
English term or phrase: 2’, 3’-dideoxy, 2’3’-didehydrocytidine, and 2’, 3’-didehydrothymidine
[...] pertaining to the anti-retroviral use of 2’, 3’-
dideoxy, 2’3’-didehydrocytidine, and 2’, 3’-didehydrothymidine and compositions described in
the U.S. patent [...].

What unit measure is ' in that case and what is the translation of the chemical component ?

Thank you..
Helene
French translation:2’,3’-didésoxycytidine, 2’,3’-didéshydrocytidine, et 2’,3’-didéshydrothymidine
Explanation:
Tout simplement, "désoxy" signifiant la perte d'un atome d'oxygène, "déshydro" la perte d'un atome d'hydrogène, et 2' et 3' étant les positions des atomes de carbone concernés.

  -> En effet, comme je viens de le vérifier à mon tour, l'UICPA recommande l'écriture sans "s". Merci pour cette remarque.
