A set of pyrimidine nucleosides fused with a 4'-C,3'-O-propylene bridge was successfully synthesised in 12 steps from 1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-alpha-D-glucofuranose, an inexpensive starting material, based on a ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reaction followed by Vorbruggen-type nucleobase coupling. Antiviral and cytotoxicity activities of the targeted modified nucleosides, as well as their phosphoramidate prodrugs, are described.
