Abstract A series of unsaturated acyclonucleoside bis (POC) prodrugs of E configuration were synthesized through an expeditious, highly efficient and stereoselective one-step procedure from corresponding bis (POC) allylphosphonate through Ru catalyzed cross- coupling metathesis reaction. The [RuCl 2 (PCy 3)(SIPr)(Indenylidene)] and [RuCl 2 (PCy 3)(IMes)(benzylidene)] catalysts were employed; the unsaturated ANP were used bore C5 ...
