Abstract
We report on the preparation of novel 1′-homonucleoside derivatives locked in a West conformation by 1′,4′-bridge consisting of annulated benzene or naphthalene ring. The crucial step of the synthesis was Diels–Alder reaction of an appropriate aryne with a suitable furane derivative. Antiviral properties of novel compounds were studied and slight activity against HCV was detected in several compounds.
