Synthesis of nucleoside mono-, di-, and triphosphoramidates from solid-phase cyclosaligenyl phosphitylating reagents

Org Lett. 2009 May 21;11(10):2157-60. doi: 10.1021/ol900320r.

Abstract

Chloromethyl polystyrene resin was reacted with 5-hydroxysalicylaldehyde in the presence of potassium carbonate to afford polymer-bound 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde. Subsequent reduction with borane solution produced polymer-bound 2-hydroxybenzyl alcohol. The reaction of immobilized 2-hydroxybenzyl alcohol with appropriate phosphitylating reagents yielded solid-phase cycloSaligenyl mono-, di-, and triphosphitylating reagents, which were reacted with unprotected nucleosides, followed by iodine oxidation, deprotection of cyanoethoxy groups, and the basic cleavage, respectively, to afford 5'-O-nucleoside mono-, di-, and triphosphoramidates in 52-73% overall yield.
