A synthetic approach towards 1'-C-branched N,O-nucleosides is reported, based on 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of ethoxycarbonylnitrone. The asymmetric version of the process exploits the presence of a chiral auxiliary at the carbon atom of nitrone and leads to beta-D and beta-L nucleosides in good yields.

Stereoselective C-C bond formation at the anomeric position of uracil and adenine nucleoside has been accomplished through reaction of the anomeric radical, generated by 1,2-acyloxy migration, with a radical acceptor. The present method consists of the following steps: (1) electrophilic addition (bromo-pivaloyloxylation) to 3',5'-O-(1,1,3,3-tetraisopropyldisiloxane-1,3-diyl)-protected 1',2'-unsaturated nucleoside, (2) tin radical-mediated reaction of the resulting adduct with a radical acceptor. The use of allyl(tributyl)tin gave the 1'-C-allylated uracil nucleoside 14 in 66% yield together with the unrearranged 2'-C-allylated product 15 (6%).
