Synthesis of Optically Active 1,4-Dioxane Nucleotide Analogs

Synthesis of a novel, optically active uridine analog containing a 1,4-dioxane sugar moiety. Synthesis of the corresponding dinucleotide

A new optically active uridine nucleoside analogue in which a substituted 1,4-dioxane ring functioned as the sugar analogue was prepared from L-tartaric acid. The nucleoside analogue was further converted into the corresponding protected dinucleotide.

Enantioselective synthesis of homo-N-nucleosides containing a 1,4-dioxane sugar analog

A dioxane homo-sugar analog, (2S,5S)-and (2R,5S)-5-[(4S)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl]-2-iodomethyl-1,4-dioxane was prepared from (2R,3R)-dimethyl tartrate, and further elaborated into the corresponding homo-N-nucleoside analogs by its reactions with uracil and adenine, respectively.
