title: Simple and stereoselective syntheses of nucleoside analogues with a benzo[c]furan glycone moiety.
abstract: A series of d4T analogues have been synthesised in which the 2',3'-didehydro-2',3'-dideoxyribose moiety is replaced by a benzo[c]furan core. A simple strategy has been developed to access a range of compounds for biological screening. In addition, a stereoselective approach has been achieved with view to permit more detailed studies.
