An efficient approach to 2,5-anhydro-glucitol-based 1′-homo-N-nucleoside mimetics

This Letter describes an efficient synthesis of a range of 1′-homo-N-nucleoside mimetics with a series of 4-substituted 1,2,3-triazoles replacing the natural nucleobase. The synthesis of 6-O-monosulfated 1′-homo-N-nucleoside mimetic derivatives is also discussed.
