Abstract

The carbocyclic nucleosides (-)-aristeromycin and (-)-neplanocin A were made enantiospecifically in nine steps and ten steps, respectively, from D-ribonic acid y-lactone. Quenching of an organocuprate conjugate addition reaction with either acetic acid or methanesulfinyl chloride determines whether the divergent synthetic route branches toward (-)-aristeromycin or (-)-neplanocin A. An alternate synthesis of cyclopentenone 1, a ...
