M. Saady et al., SYNTHESIS OF ADENOSINE-5'-PHOSPHATES AND 5'-ALKYLPHOSPHONATES VIA THEMITSUNOBU REACTION, Tetrahedron letters, 36(13), 1995, pp. 2239-2242
The Mitsunobu reaction can be successfully applied to achieve phosphor
ylation and phosphonylation of purine nucleosides. A series of differe
nt adenosine-5'-phosphate analogs was obtained with good to excellent
yields.
