✦ Synopsis


The synthesis and antiviral evaluation of 2',3'-dideoxy and 2',3'-didehydro-2',3'-dideoxy 4'thionucleosides in both enantiomeric series are described. Enantiomeric 4-O-silylated-4hydroxymethyl-4-thiobutyrolactones, produced in high yield from chiral glycidols, provided suitable chiral synthons: phenylselenation of these intermediates resulted in anomeric selectivity in nucleobase glycosidations. L-d4-cytidine analogues showed marked anti-HBV and anti-HIV activity.

We have identified a selective S(N)2' reaction triggered by iodide ion that leads to the ring-opening of 2,2'-anhydro-α-nucleosides. By applying the method, we have synthesized α-D-2',3'-didehydro-2',3'-dideoxy-3'-C-hydroxymethyl nucleosides, designed as potential antiviral agents.
