Abstract
Synthesis of 2′-O,5′-C-bridged-β-d-homolyxofuranosyl nucleosides U and T have been achieved starting from diacetone-d-glucose in overall yields 55.7 and 57.1%, respectively. Quantitative regioselective monoacetylation of the lone primary hydroxyl group in trihydroxy nucleoside intermediate, i.e. 3′-O-benzyl-β-d-glucofuranosyl nucleosides mediated by Novozyme®-435 has been utilized as the key step in the synthesis of homolyxofuranosyl nucleosides. The structure of the synthesized 2′-O,5′-C-bridged-β-d-homolyxofuranosyl uracil and -thymine has been established on the basis of their spectral (IR, 1H, 13C NMR and HRMS) data analysis and the structure of earlier nucleoside was confirmed by its X-rays diffraction analysis which revealed that these 2′-O,5′-C-bridged homo-nucleosides are locked into S-type sugar puckering.
