A series of individual sugar-modified pyrimidine nucleosides including enantiomerically enriched 2',3'-dideoxynucleosides 14a-c (α and β anomers of L- and D-series), 2',3'-dideoxy-4'-thionucleosides 21a-c (α and β anomers of L- and D-series), and 2',3'-dideoxy-4'-azanucleosides 28a-c (β anomers of L- and D-series) were synthesized, with uniform chemistry and high stereochemical efficiency, exploiting a triad of versatile heterocyclic siloxy dienes, namely, 2-(tert-butyldimethylsiloxy)furan (TBSOF), 2-(tert- butyldimethylsiloxy)thiophene (TBSOT), and N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-2-(tert- butyldimethylsiloxy)pyrrole (TBSOP). The synthetic procedure advantageously used both enantiomers of glyceraldehyde acetonide (D-1 and L-1) as sources of chirality and as synthetic equivalents of the formyl cation. The outlined chemistry also allowed for the rapid assemblage of a 30-member collection of racemic nucleosides (D,L-L) as well as one 15-member ensemble of chiral analogues (L-L), along with some related sublibraries.
