Z. Tocik et al., PREPARATION OF 4'-PHOSPHONOMETHOXY DERIVATIVES OF NUCLEOSIDES - ADDITION OF HYDROXYMETHANEPHOSPHONIC ACID DIALKYL ESTERS TO 4',5'-DIDEHYDRONUCLEOSIDES, Collection of Czechoslovak Chemical Communications, 61, 1996, pp. 76-80
A synthetic route to the preparation of 4'-phosphonomethoxy derivative
s of nucleosides, structural analogs to a number of important antivira
ls. has been elaborated. Principle of the method consists in the react
ion of suitable electrophile with 4',5'-didehydronucleoside. compound
with a vinylether-type exocyclic double bond, followed by nucleophilic
attack of hydroxymethanephosphonic acid dialkyl ester. Obtained produ
cts are structurally related to nucleoside 5'-monophosphates branched
in 4'-position. Their use as part of building blocks for oligonucleoti
de synthesis is also envisaged.
