Application of chiral cyclic nitrones to the diastereoselective synthesis of bicyclic isoxazolidine nucleoside analogues

Nucleosides Nucleotides Nucleic Acids. 2008 Jan;27(1):84-100. doi: 10.1080/15257770701572055.

Abstract

New bicyclic isoxazolidine nucleoside analogues are synthesized through 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of enantiopure cyclic nitrones to appropriate vinyl nucleobases. The reactions are diastereoselective, giving as the main or the sole product the exo-Re cycloadducts. The diastereoselectivity depends on both the kind of the base and the substitution pattern of the nitrone.
