An efficient synthetic route to biologically relevant (-)-5-fluorocarbodine 6 was developed. Direct coupling of N(6)-protected 5-fluorouracil 15 with cyclopentenyl intermediate 13, followed by formation of a macrocycle between the base and the carbocyclic sugar moiety, via ring-closing metathesis, allowed for a facial selective hydrogenation of the sugar double bond to give, exclusively, the desired 4'-β stereoisomer. ...[more]
