Oxetane Ring‐Opening Reaction: A Key Step for the Preparation of Substituted (Fluoro)alkenyl as Acyclonucleoside Mimics

Abstract

AbstractTri‐ and tetra‐substituted alkenes, including fluoroalkenes, were prepared by a selective ring‐opening reaction of functionalized oxetanes. The introduction of adenine nucleic base allows the synthesis of alkenyl and fluoroalkenyl derivatives that were evaluated towards DltA enzyme as potential nucleoside mimics.
