โฆ Synopsis
Pyrazofurin A (VIII) and showdomycin (IV) are nucleosides havin? marked antiviral, antibacterial and antitumor activity2, and their syntheses have been re-ported3r4.
We should like to describe the synthesis of their carbocyclic analogues IX and V.
The readily available olefin ester I 5 was ozonolyzed in methylene chloride at -78O. Dimethylsulfide reduction 6, followed by reduction with two-fold excess of tri-t-butoxyaluminum hydride in tetrahydrofuran save diol ester II5 in 60 -65% yield, based on I. Pivaloylation with 1.1 eq of pivaloyl chloride in pyridine/ methylene chloride gave the monopivalate IIb in 80% yield as an oil.
Similarly, the t-butyldimethyl silyl ether IIa could be formed in 80% yield by the addition of 1.1 eq of t-butyl-dimethyl silyl chloride, 2.5 eq of imidazole in dimethylformamide at 20' for 24 hrs.7
