Novel bicyclo[3.1.0]hexanyl purine nucleoside analogues were synthesized as potential antiherpetic agents via a bicyclo[3.1.0]hexanol (${\pm}$)-8, which was prepared using a highly efficient carbenoid cycloaddition reaction. A highly diastereoselective reduction of ketone and a Mitsunobu reaction for the condensation of glycosyl donor (${\pm}$)-12 with 6-chloropurine were employed.

2-methyl-5(S)-hexanolide(1); the major component of pheromonal blend of the male carpenter bee was synthesized via Homer-Emmons reaction from Ethyl(S)-3-hydroxybutyrate(2a) which had been obtained by Baker's Yeast reduction in overall yield 39%.
