Abstract

A novel synthetic route to 2,3,4-trideoxy-4,4-difluoro-β-d-ribo-hexopyranose adenosine and 2,3,4-trideoxy-2,3-didehydro-4,4-difluoro-β-d-ribo-hexopyranose adenosine has been developed. The approach highlights the highly regio- and stereoselective palladium-catalyzed glycosylation of Boc-protected pyranose, which was prepared from the oxidation-cyclization of a difluorinated diol. The diol was provided through ozonization and Lindlar reduction of optically pure enynic alcohol.
