title: Synthesis of spiroacetal-nucleosides as privileged natural product-like scaffolds.
abstract: The elaboration of a 6,6-spiroacetal scaffold to incorporate a nucleoside unit at the anomeric position is described. The novel spiroacetal-nucleoside hybrids were generated via nucleosidation of acetoxy-spiroacetal with a series of silylated nucleobases under Vorbrüggen conditions.
