Abstract
A new, efficient synthesis of racemic cyclopent-3-en-1-yl nucleoside analogues has been developed starting from cyclopentadiene. The key step is the regioselective hydroboration of an intermediately formed mixture of two alkylated cyclopentadienes to give one cyclopentenol. The remaining double bond was further functionalized by hydroboration, epoxidation, cis-hydroxylation and cyclopropanation.
