4′-Substituted nucleoside analogues have been synthesized using palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic amination conditions. A kinetic discrimination between the diastereomeric lactol acetates (3) produced the desired aminated products (6a-d) and recovered acetate (α-3) in high yields and 97:3 diastereoselectivity. Epimerization of the recovered lactol acetate (α-3) produced a 60:40 α/β mixture of (3), which could be resubjected, in principle, to the palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic amination conditions.
