Abstract

2, 5, 6-Trichloro-1-(β-d-ribofuranosyl) benzimidazole (TCRB) and certain analogues have shown significant activity against human cytomegalovirus. The metabolic instability of the glycosidic linkage in TCRB prompted us to synthesize the structurally similar imidazo [1, 2-a] pyridine erythrofuranosyl C-nucleosides. As an approach to the synthesis of polychlorinated imidazo [1, 2-a] pyridine C-3-erythrofuranosides, a palladium-based methodology for ...
