title: Cyclopropyl and related analogs of the anti-HIV compound, isodideoxyadenosine.
abstract: Novel 3'-substituted isonucleoside analogs were designed on the basis of the similarities of their electrostatic potential with the active anti-HIV compound, (S,S)-isodideoxy-adenosine. The key synthetic step involved coupling between the dideoxygenated sugar derivatives, 10 and 14, and adenine under Mitsunobu conditions. Anti-HIV data are mentioned.
