Abstract
A new method for generating nucleoside anomeric radicals utilizing radical 1,5-translocation was developed. Two kinds of β-halogenovinyl groups at the C6-position of uracil nucleosides were found to be a good radical source, which subsequently forms a nucleoside anomeric radical. The following 5-endo-trig cyclization gave anomeric spiro nucleosides as products.
Notes
Some of these compounds were also isolated by the HPLC separation in 24% combined yield (data not shown)
