K. Hirota et al., A NOVEL-APPROACH FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF PURINE ACYCLONUCLEOSIDES USING 9-D-RIBITYLPURINES AS A CHIRAL POOL, Synlett, (6), 1997, pp. 697-698
Facile syntheses of L-eritadenine (8a), (2S,3R)-9-(2,3,4-trihydroxybut
yl) purines (4a and 4b), and (2S,3S)-9-(2,3,4-trihydroxybutyl)adenine
(6a) were achieved by using 9-D-(2,3-O-isopropylideneribityl)purines (
1a and 1b) as a chiral pool.
