| Abstract |
The topic of the project is the development of synthetic methodology for libraries of modified aryl- a hetaryl-C-nucleosides (ribo- and 2'-deoxyribonucleosides, as well as nucleosides with modified sugar-part). Diverse C-glycosidation reactions will be studied for preparation of mono- a dihalo (het)aryl C-nucleosides. These intermediates will be further used in various Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, nucleophilic substitutions and carbonylations for the synthesis of the target C-nucleosides. The resulting nucleosides will be submitted for cytostatic and antiviral activity screening and chemically and enzymatically incorporated to DNA and used in studies of mechanism of polymerases.
