This article reports the synthesis of novel 2',3',4'-trimethyl branched carbocyclic nucleosides. The introduction Of a methyl group in the 2' and 3'-position was accomplished by sequential Horner Wadsworth-Emmons reaction and isopropenyl magnesiumbromide addition, respectively. The construction of the 4'-quaternary carbon needed was carried out using a [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement. Bis-vinyls were successfully cyclized using a Grubbs catalyst II. The natural bases (adenine, cytosine) were efficiently coupled with the use of a Pd(0) catalyst.
