Multi-step transformation of enantiomerically pure synthons, (1S,2S,3R,4R)-
(4-hydroxymethyl-2,3-isopropylidenedioxy-1-cyclopentyl) methyl butyrate {(-
)-5} and (1R,5R,6R,7S)-6,7-(isopropylidenedioxy)-3-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-
2-one {(+)-11} into carba-4-deoxypyrazofurin 1 and isomeric carba-4-deaza-o
xoformycin 2 analogues is presented.
