Arpm. Valentijn et al., A NOVEL-APPROACH TOWARDS THE SYNTHESIS OF PYROPHOSPHATE ANALOGS OF FARNESYL PYROPHOSPHATE, Recueil des travaux chimiques des Pays-Bas, 113(12), 1994, pp. 563-566
The synthesis of two new analogues (i.e. 3 and 4) of farnesyl pyrophos
phate (FPP) containing a phosphonophosphate and a phosphonophosphonate
moiety was accomplished via the phosphonomorpholidate. The latter was
easily obtained by treatment of a phosphonic chloride with morpholine
.
