K. Bednarski et al., SYNTHESIS OF RACEMIC 2-PHOSPHONOMETHYL-1,3-DIOXOLANE NUCLEOSIDE ANALOGS AS POTENTIAL ANTIVIRAL AGENTS, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 5(15), 1995, pp. 1741-1744
2-Phosphonomethyl-1,3-dioxolane nucleosides containing appropriately l
inked pyrimidine and purine bases at C-4 position were prepared as bio
mimetic analogues of antiviral 2',3'-dideoxynucleoside monophosphates.
The key coupling intermediate 10 was prepared by a cyclocondensation
of diethylacetal 6 and diol 7 followed by hydrolysis and lead tetra-ac
etate oxidative decarboxylation.
