A novel, one-pot ring-expansion procedure was developed using Me3S(O)I, NaH, and Sc(OTf)3. The scope and limitations were briefly examined, and a tentative mechanism was proposed. Application of the methodology to known cyclobutanone 1 provided the corresponding cyclopentanone, which was successfully advanced to (+)-carbovir and (+)-aristeromycin.

Carbocyclic versions of 2′,3′-dideoxy-3′C-hydroxymethyl nucleosides with adenine, guanine, uracil and cytosine bases were synthesized from a common cyclopentenone precursor. The extra hydroxymethyl moiety was introduced by photochemical addition of methan
