S. Bhat et al., Targeting of phosphonoacetate to the liver: Synthesis of a phosphonoacetate-trilactoside conjugate, ISR J CHEM, 40(3-4), 2000, pp. 335-341
As part of continuing studies on drug delivery to the human liver, a phosph
onoacetate-trilactoside conjugate (12) has been synthesized in an overall y
ield of 23%. The shortness of the synthesis of this conjugate hinges upon a
successful Michaelis-Arbuzov reaction of bromoacetamide 8 with tris(trimet
hylsilyl) phosphite.
