Syntheses of 3'-deoxy analogues of adenosine, cytidine, and uridine with a 2,2-difluorocyclopropane ring fused at C3'-C4' are described. Treatment of a 2',5'-protected-3',4'-unsaturated derivative of uridine with difluorocarbene [generated from (CF3)(2)Hg and NaI] gave a diastereomeric mixture of the 3',4'-difluoromethylene compounds (alpha-L-arabino/beta-D-ribo, similar to 5:4). The limited stereoselectivity for addition at the beta face results from competitive steric hindrance by an allylic 4-methoxybenzyloxy group at C2' on the alpha face and a homoallylic nucleobase at C1' on the beta face. Protected uracil derivatives were converted into their cytosine counterparts via 4-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl) intermediates. Treatment of 1,2-dihydrofurans derived from D- and L-xylose with difluorocarbene resulted in stereospecific addition at the beta face (anti to the 1,2-O-isopropylidene group on the alpha face). Glycosylations with activated enantiomeric sugar derivatives with the fused difluorocyclopropane ring on the beta face gave protected adenine nucleosides, whereas attempted glycosylation with an alpha-fused derivative gave multiple products. Removal of base- and sugar-protecting groups gave new difluoromethylene-bridged nucleoside analogues.
