title: Synthesis of carbocyclic nucleoside precursors from bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-enes using a novel reductive C-C bond cleavage reaction.
abstract: Dimethyl c-4-aminomethylcyclo-pent-2-en-r-1-ylmalonate, an precursor of carbocyclic homo-nucleosides, has been synthesized from the bicyclo-[2.2.1]helpt-5-ene derivative prepared by the Diels-Alder reaction of cyclopentadiene with dimethyl trifluoroacetylaminomethylenemalonate, which is a new dienophile. The synthetic method involves a novel C-C bond cleavage reaction by sodium borohydride.
