✦ Synopsis


The synthesis of the title compounds started with the Vilsmeier reaction of 3-[2,3,5-tris-O-(tert-butylalmethylsilyl)-~-D-ribofuranosyl]wye (b'b) and proceeded through the Wittig reaction with (R)-N-(methoxyearbonyl)-3-(triphenylphosphonio)alaninate (4), methylation with trimethyisilyldiazomethane, OsO4 oxidation, cyclocondensation with triphosgene, and catalytic hydrogenolysis. Chromalographie separation of the resulting diastereomeric mature and subsequent deprotection afforded the two desired nucleosides [[R-(R*,S*)]-and [S.(R*,R*)]-2b] for the first time.
