Abstract

l- And d-glutamic acids, as well as trans-4-hydroxy-l-proline, are converted to the corresponding 3-guaninyl-5-hydroxymethyl-2-pyrrolidinone (4) or 3-adeninyl-5-hydroxymethyl-2-pyrrolidinone (5) nucleoside analog. The protecting group used to block the lactam nitrogen in key intermediates has a significant effect on the diastereoselectivity of the coupling reaction with adenine or guanine.
