title: Application of chiral cyclic nitrones to the diastereoselective synthesis of bicyclic isoxazolidine nucleoside analogues.
abstract: New bicyclic isoxazolidine nucleoside analogues are synthesized through 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of enantiopure cyclic nitrones to appropriate vinyl nucleobases. The reactions are diastereoselective, giving as the main or the sole product the exo-Re cycloadducts. The diastereoselectivity depends on both the kind of the base and the substitution pattern of the nitrone.
