Stereoselective synthesis of carbocyclic analogue of Nucleocidin

Among 4'-substituted nucleosides. Nucleocidin. 4'-azido thymidine (ADRT), 4'-fluorinated carbocyclic nucleoside. and 3'-fluoro oxetanosin analogue have demonstrated a variety of biological activities. Since the cyclopentane ring of carbocyclic nucleosides can emulate the furanose moiety. a number of these compounds exhibit interesting biological activity, particularly in the areas of antiviral and anticancer chemotherapy.
