Enantioselective synthesis of the carbocyclic nucleosides (-)-aristeromycin and (-)-neplanocin A by a chemicoenzymatic approach

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/ja00350a050

An efficient synthesis of the carbocyclic nucleosides ( minus )-aristeromycin and ( minus )-neplanocin A has been developed in an enantioselective and stereocontrolled manner starting from the Diels-Alder adduct of cyclopentadiene and dimethyl acetylenedi
