High stereoselective synthesis of diethyl (2, 3-isopropylidene-5-trityl-α-d-ribofuranosyl)-methanephosphonate, a precursor to the phosphono analog of α-d-ribose 1- …
Abstract The reaction of 2, 3-isopropylidene-5-trityl-d-ribofuranose with methylenetriphenyl- phosphorane and the subsequent mercuriocyclization, iodomercuriation and Arbuzov reaction, allow a highly stereoselective entry to the phosphono analog of α-d-ribose 1- phosphate.
