title: Carbocyclic L-nucleoside analogs as potential antiviral agents.
abstract: The syntheses of several carbocyclic L-nucleoside analogs starting from enantiomerically pure (1R,2S)-2-benzyloxymethylcyclopent-3-enol are described. The key step is the coupling of a protected nucleobase with different cyclopentane derivatives following a modified Mitsunobu protocol.
