Abstract

ABSTRACT Ring-opening reactions of functionalized 1, 2-cyclic sulfates and oxetanes with the phosphonodifluoromethyl carbanion are reported. This approach allows an easy access to fluorinated β-hydroxyphosphonates that are building blocks in the synthesis of acyclic nucleosides. Synthesis of precursors of nucleoside phosphorylase inhibitors from these alcohols is described.
