title: Synthesis of D- and L-carbocyclic nucleosides via rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydroacylation as the key step.
abstract: D- and L-carbocyclic nucleosides were obtained by a new procedure involving an enantioselective rhodium/duphos-catalyzed hydroacylation reaction as the key step. The 3-hydroxymethyl-cyclopentanol intermediate was obtained by stereoselective reduction of ketone and by dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR).
