摘要:
                                Regiospecific and highly stereoselective electrophilic addition to furanoid glycals has been used as a key step in the synthesis of phosphonate isosteres of nucleoside monophosphates.  Using this methodology, phosphonate analogues of 1 (ddA), 4 (d4T), and 5 (d4A) monophosphates have been prepared.  Present studies have also led to the development of a scheme for the synthesis of the phosphonate isostere of adenosine monophosphate.  Despite the acetal structure, phosphonate derivatives 27 and 28 were substantially more acid stable than the corresponding nucleosides 1 and 5 with respect to glycosidic bond cleavage.  The phosphonates 22 and 27 exhibited a potent antiretroviral activity comparable to that of 4 (d4T).
