title: Synthesis of novel bicyclic nucleosides with 3,6-anhydro sugar moiety.
abstract: Based on the biological importance of conformationally restricted nucleoside analogues, we have efficiently synthesized 3,6-anhydro sugar moiety with 3-C-hydroxymethyl substituent from 1,2;5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-D-glucose and condensed 15 with silylated nucleobases to afford the bicyclic nucleoside with 3,6-anhydro skeleton as potential antiviral agent.
