The present invention relates to a process for preparing 5-acetylstavudine, an intermediate which is useful in the preparation of 2,3-didehydro-3-deoxythymidine, an active principle with antiviral action which is commonly known as stavudine. The graphical user interface utilizes a three-dimensional transformation to move a presently displayed work area, for example a desktop with open windows, revealing a background presentation area behind it. The alarm is operatively connected to the first end of the elongating member, and the activation member is releasably connected to the alarm. A user selection of at least one feature for editing within the map is received. The conductive plate may be electrically connected to the thermal safety device and mounted in the insulating holder around the thermal safety device.
