T. Iimori et al., A MILD AND RAPID GLYCOSYLATION REACTION BETWEEN PYRIMIDINE-BASES AND 2-DEOXYRIBOFURANOSYL N,N,N',N'-TETRAMETHYLPHOSPHOROAMIDATES, Heterocycles, 42(2), 1996, pp. 485-488
A trimethylsilyl triflate-mediated coupling reaction to produce protec
ted 2'-deoxynucleosides has been developed by using N,N,N',N'-tetramet
hyl-phosphoroamidate as a leaving group. In this reaction, employment
of a 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl group as the 3-hydroxyl protective group
in the sugar moiety improved the beta-stereoselectivity via a novel Id
-participation.
