Toward amide-linked RNA mimics: Total synthesis of 3′-C branched uridine azido acid via an ene-iodolactonization approach

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/ol027229z

(Matrix presented) A novel synthesis of 3′-C branched uridine azido acid has been accomplished by a sequence of stereoselective ene and iodolactonization reactions. Compared to traditional routes that start from carbohydrates, the present methodology is m
