摘要:
The condensations of ribonucleoside 3'-H-phosphonates with simple alcohols and nucleosides are known to be stereoselective reactions that favour formation of D-P(S-P)-diastereomers of the produced H-phosphonate diesters without engaging any chiral auxiliaries. We have investigated various reaction conditions in order to attain the highest stereoselectivity for the condensation. With an optimal choice of solvents, reagent concentrations, temperature and the condensing agent used, the diastereomeric excess of the D-P(S-P)-isomers of dinucleoside H-phosphonates was enhanced from the initial 50-70% to ca. 85%.
