A total synthesis of mycalisine A

In this paper, we report a total synthesis of a naturally occurring pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine nucleoside, mycalisine A. Our synthetic strategy uses d-xylose as the starting material and Vorbrüggen glycosylation as the key step. Mycalisine A was synthesized in 11 steps with a 15% overall yield.
