title: Preparation of carbocyclic S-adenosylazamethionine accompanied by a practical synthesis of (-)-aristeromycin.
abstract: For the preparation of a carbocyclic nitrogen analogue of S-adenosylmethionine (carba-AdoazaMet, 4), a practical synthesis of (-)-aristeromycin (7) has been developed using variations of literature procedures. This approach called for a stereospecific synthesis of (3aR,6aR)-2,2-dimethyl-3a,6a-dihydrocyclopenta[1,3]dioxol-4-one ((4R, 5R)-4,5-O-isopropylidene-2-cyclopentenone) (8), which was achieved by modifying reported procedures from D-(-)-ribose.
