Abstract

d-Ribose was converted into 3 novel carbobicyclic nucleosides bearing a bicyclo[4.3.0]nonane framework in 16-19 steps with 5-12% overall yields involving a Wittig olefination and an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction as the key steps. The present synthesis also provides an efficient entry for chiral hydrindenones. The conformation studies of these carbanucleosides and their bio-evaluation as potential antiviral agents are reported.
