Malonate ethers and phosphonate derivatives of 2-deoxyribose and 2-deoxy-2- fluoroarabinose have been synthesized, for the first time, as stable analogues of 2-deoxy-α- d-ribose-1-phosphate (1). In almost all the cases, the α-anomers have been obtained as the major isomers. The NMR conformational analysis performed indicate a similar conformational equilibria for the natural phosphate 1 and the here described analogues, ...
