A1 Clercq, Erik de K1 Synthesis K1 Indan carbanucleosides K1 Mitsunobu reaction K1 Suzuki–Miyaura reaction K1 Antiviral activity AB Starting from (±)-trans- and (±)-cis-3-hydroxymethyl-1-indanol, novel 6-substituted purinylcarbanucleoside derivatives of indan (5, 6, 9, 10, 15 and 17) were synthesized through a key coupling reaction with 6-chloropurine under Mitsunobu conditions. Suzuki–Miyaura reactions of the protected 6-chloropurine derivative with different arylboronic acids afforded the corresponding 6-arylpurinylcarbanucleoside derivatives. Finally, three new 5-halouracilcarbanucleosides (19, 20 and 21) were prepared by reaction of uracilcarbanucleoside 18 with different N-halosuccinimides. All of the new analogues were evaluated for antiviral activity against a wide variety of viruses PB MDPI SN 3-906980-20-0 YR 2008 FD 2008 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/26850 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/26850 LA eng NO Alonso, N.; Caamaño, O.; Fernández, F.; García-Mera, X.; Morales, M.; Rodríguez-Borges, J.E.; De Clercq, E.
