Abstract

Abstract Novel isomeric dideoxynucleosides with unsaturation in the carbohydrate moiety have been synthesized. For example, isod4A was synthesized through a rearrangement reaction involving a cyclonucleoside. Support for the structures of both purine and pyrimidine d4 compounds came from UV, NMR, HRMS and single crystal X-ray data. Interestingly, the single crystal X-ray data for isod4C shows that the base is almost ...
