The 5'-alkynylation of uridine-derived aldehydes is described. The addition of alkynyl Grignard reagents on the carbonyl group is significantly influenced by the 2',3'-di-<i>O</i>-protecting groups (R<sup>1</sup>): <i>O</i>-alkyl groups led to modest diastereoselectivities (65:35) in favor of the 5'<i>R</i>-isomer, whereas <i>O</i>-silyl groups promoted higher diastereoselectivities (up to 99:1) in favor of the 5'<i>S</i>-isomer. A study related to this protecting group effect on the diastereose ...[more]
