The invention provides a process for producing 2′-deoxyguanosine, characterized in that the process includes reacting one compound selected from the group consisting of guanosine, guanosine 5′-monophosphate, and 2-amino-6-substituted purine with 2′-deoxynucleoside in the presence of nucleoside deoxyribosyl transferase and a hydrolase. According to the process of the present invention, 2′-deoxyguanosine can be synthesized efficiently from inexpensive and easily available starting materials. Since no guanosine, which disturbs purification, is virtually present in a reaction mixture, isolation and purification of 2′-deoxyguanosine can be performed in a very simple manner. Thus, the process for producing 2′-deoxyguanosine is practical.

A method by which high-purity CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid (HPLC purity, 95% or higher), which has been difficult to obtain with any technique other than chromatography, can be easily obtained in satisfactory yield by a simple operation without the need of chromatography. The process, which is for producing high-purity CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid (CMP-NeuAc), is characterized by conducting a suitable combination of the following steps (1) to (4). Step 1: a step in which divalent cations are added to a solution containing CMP-NeuAc to thereby precipitate the phosphoric acid, pyrophosphoric acid, and nucleotide which coexist; Step 2: a step in which a phosphatase is added to a solution containing CMP-NeuAc to thereby convert the coexistent nucleotide into nucleoside; Step 3: a step in which an organic solvent is added to precipitate the CMP-NeuAc; and Step 4: a step in which the CMP-NeuAc precipitated is recovered.
