Herein, we describe diverse reactivity of (anthracen‐9‐yl)methanamines with a few electron‐deficient acetylenes. Depending on the solvent and concentration, (anthracen‐9‐yl)methanamines reacted with acetylenes through one electron transfer, two electron transfer, or Diels–Alder pathways; and under certain conditions, we observed multiple reaction pathways. We have proposed plausible mechanisms to account for various reactions observed by us. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Isonucleosides discovered in our laboratory have been found to have interesting antiviral activity. The design, development of methodology, and stereochemical synthesis of new isonucleosides of anti-HCV interest are described. Antiviral results are cited.
