title: Synthesis of C-5'-nor-dideoxycarbanucleosides structurally related to neplanocin C.
abstract: Purine carbanucleosides built on a 6-oxabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane template were synthesized from readily available 2-cyclopentenone employing a Mitsunobu reaction to incorporate the base onto the carbocyclic ring. Both adenosine and guanosine analogues exhibited moderate antiviral activity.
