title: Total synthesis of N-malayamycin A and related bicyclic purine and pyrimidine nucleosides.
abstract: Methods are described for the total synthesis of bicyclic perhydrofuropyran nucleosides as N-analogues of the naturally occurring malayamycin A. Formation of the N-nucleosides relied on the activation of thioglycosides, proceeding via sulfonium intermediates. Ring closure metathesis was used in two approaches to build the bicyclic dioxa heterocycle. Another approach relied on the use of a sugar precursor and cyclization to the bicyclic thioglycoside.
