Solid phase synthesis of carbocyclic l-2'-deoxynucleosides.

[reaction: see text] Carbocyclic L-2'deoxynucleosides 17 were synthesized on solid phase in four steps from the appropriately protected intermedate 11. The Mitsunobu reaction was used as a condensation method between the carbocyclic moiety and heterocyclic bases. The regioselectivity of the carbocyclic nucleosides was compared between the solid and solution phase syntheses.
