title: Selective synthesis and application to the synthesis of (E)-fluorovinyl nucleosides.
abstract: A selective method for synthesizing (E)-fluorovinyl was developed. Novel acyclic (E)-fluorovinyl versions of neplanocin A were designed and selectively synthesized as potential antiviral agents. The condensation of the bromide 7 with the nucleosidic bases (5-FU, C, A, G) and the deprotection afforded the desired acyclic fluorovinyl nucleosides. The synthesized compounds 11, 12, 13, and 16 were evaluated for their antiviral activity. The guanine derivative 16 showed toxicity-dependent anti-HIV-1 activity in MT-4 cells.
