Abstract

The synthesis of several novel carbocyclic purine nucleosides that incorporate a nitrogen in place of carbon 3 of the cyclopentyl moiety are described. These analogues are all derived from the key stereochemically defined intermediate N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-0-[(4metho~ henyl) dipheny~ ethyl]-t~~-4-hy~ ox~~ prolinol (19), which was accessible in 61.1% overall yield for a five-step sequence starting from cis-4hydroxy-~-proline. The heterocyclic bases, ...
