S. Kralikova et al., Geminal hydroxy phosphonate derivatives of nucleosides: A novel class of nucleoside 5 '-monophosphate analogues, TETRAHEDR L, 41(6), 2000, pp. 955-958
A novel type of phosphonate-based, isopolar, nonisosteric 5'-nucleotide ana
logue, the nucleoside 5'-hydroxy phosphonates, was prepared by Abramov nucl
eophilic addition of various phosphorous acid esters to nucleoside 5'-aldeh
ydes. The newly formed compounds are distinguished by chirality of the 5'-c
arbon atom. The configuration of the 5'-epimers was assigned from NMR spect
ra. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
