A practical and efficient synthesis of ethyl 1,2,4‐triazole‐3‐carboxylate ( 6a , R' = H) from ethyl carboethoxyformimidate hydrochloride ( 7 ) is described. Alkylation of this heterocycle with the chloromethyl ethers of 1,3‐ O ‐dibenzylbutane‐1,2 R ,3 S ‐triol ( 8a ) and 1,3,4‐ O ‐tribenzylbutane‐1,2 R ,3 S ,4‐tetrol ( 8b ), followed by conversion of the ester function to the amide and deprotection, furnished the chiral 1′,2′‐ seco ‐nucleosides of ribavirin, 11a and 11b , respectively.
