Treatment of a 1,2-O-isopropylidene-3-ketopentofuranose derivative (obtained from D-glucose) with [(ethoxycarbonyl)methylene]triphenylphosphorane and catalytic hydrogenation of the resulting alkene gave stereodefined access to 3-(carboxymethyl)-3-deoxy-D-ribofuranose derivatives. Esters of 5-O-acetyl- or 5-azido-5-deoxy-3-(carboxymethyl)-D-ribofuranose were coupled with nucleobases to give branched-chain nucleoside derivatives. Ester saponification and protecting group manipulation provided 2′-O-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl) ethers of 5′-azido-5′-deoxy- or 5′-O-(dimethoxytrityl) derivatives of 3′-(carboxymethyl)-3′-deoxyribonucleosides that are effective precursors for synthesis of amide-linked oligoribonucleosides.
