Abstract
An efficient method to construct chiral cyclopropyl pyrimidine carbocyclic nucleoside analogues bearing a quaternary center was developed via asymmetric Michael-initiated cyclopropanation. The axis chirality was observed in cyclopropyl pyrimidine carbocyclic nucleoside analogues for the first time, which was caused by the rotationally restricted NC bond in N-COPh moiety. Using (DHQD)2AQN as the organocatalyst, diverse cyclopropyl pyrimidine carbocyclic nucleoside analogues were generated in 76–93% yields and 73–96% ee.
