Abstract

A process is provided for the preparation of branched-chain ribonucleosides of formula (I):from the 1,2-anhydroderivatives of formula (II).wherein PG is a hydroxyl protecting group, B is a purine or pyrimidine nucleobase, and R1 is C1-6 alkyl. The compounds of formula (I) are inhibitors of HCV polymerase useful in the treatment of HCV infection.
