Abstract

An expedient synthesis of 2-deoxy (10) and 3-deoxy (11) cyclohexenyl analogues of 2-deoxy and 3-deoxy-d-ribose sugar from commercially available starting materials is reported. Highly efficient enzymatic resolution of the key compound 10 is described using lipase under hydrolytic conditions. The robust methodology applied here will be useful to synthesize cyclohexenyl nucleosides, which possess potent antiviral activity and are capable of gene silencing via RNAi or antisense applications.
