Surprisingly, purines , unlike other nucleophiles, affect the enantioselectivity of the Pd‐catalyzed desymmetrization of cis ‐3,5‐diacyloxycyclopent‐1‐enes 1 , even though they are formally not involved in the enantiodiscriminating step. Under suitable conditions this influence can be minimized. From 2 , the alkylated adenine and analogues 3 can be obtained, and the latter can be employed in the short asymmetric syntheses of antiviral agents (–)‐carbovir and (–)‐aristeromycin.
