Abstract

New racemic 2-hydroxy-4- and 2-hydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)cyclohexane analogues of adenine (10b and 16b) and thymine nucleosides (13b and 19b) were prepared by alkylation of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene salt of adenine and/or thymine with 3-vinyl-7-oxabicyclo[4.1.0]heptane followed by cis hydroxylation with osmium(VIII) oxide and sodium chlorate, oxidation with sodium periodate, and borohydride reduction.
