“…These sugar derivatives have been found to be the m ost useful key interm ediates (synthons) from which Q can be elab orated into a variety of heterocycles, thus giving rise to new and interesting C-nucleosides. This has provided routes to the synthesis of C -nu cleosides of several different heterocycles such as purines, pyrim idines, pyridines, lH -tetrazo les, oxadiazolones, pyridazones, substituted tetrazolopyridazines, isooxazolines, fused pyrazoles, pyrazolotetrazolopyridazines, and pyridopyrim idines during recent years [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19], It was decided to use this approach for the syn thesis of C -nucleoside analogs w here suitably p ro tected and properly anom erically functionalized sugar derivatives (a and ß anom ers) w ere sepa rately used as a dipolarophile in 1,3-dipolar cyclo addition reactions. To the best of our know ledge this is the only rep o rt w here, b oth, a and ß anom ers have been sim ultaneously prep ared , allowing th e assignm ent of anom eric configuration of the product with high degree of certainity.…”
