Substitution of the ribose moiety of various nucleosides and nucleotides with the (N)-methanocarba ring system increases the potency and selectivity as ligands at certain subtypes of adenosine and P2 receptors. We have prepared a key intermediate in the synthesis of these derivatives, ethyl (1S,2R,3S,4S,5S)-2,3-O-(isopropylidene)-4-hydroxybicyclo[3.1.0]hexane-carboxylate (15), starting from L-ribose (8) as a readily available, enantiopure building block. L-ribose was converted to the corresponding 5'-iodo derivative (9), which was cleaved reductively with Zn. Improvements were made in subsequent steps corresponding to a published route to biologically important (N)-methanocarba 5'-uronamido nucleosides, and new steps were added to prepare related 5'-nucleotides.
