Abstract

A new efficient method for the synthesis of carboacyclic nucleosides as biologically interesting compounds via aza-conjugate addition of pyrimidine nucleobases to a,β-unsaturated esters in the presence of catalytic amount of LiOH.H2O (1.2-4.8 mol%) under microwave irradiation is described. This method affords the title compounds in good to excellent yields and in short reaction times.
