title: Ring-expanded analogues of natural oxetanocin: (+) and (-) hydroxymethyl isodideoxyadenosine.
abstract: New enantiomeric isonucleoside analogues related to natural oxetanocin have been synthesized from D-glucosamine and D-glucose. The structures of the target compounds were confirmed by NMR, HRMS, UV, single crystal X-ray, and optical rotation data. Stability studies with respect to purine nucleoside phosphorylase and adenosine deaminase show that these compounds are not substrates. Antiviral results are discussed.
