Abstract

The concept behind the selective activation of bis (dialky1amino) methoxyphosphines is experimentally examined and subsequently used in the preparation of deoxynucleoside phosphoramidites in situ. These intermediates are most efficiently prepared from the reaction of suitably protected deoxynucleosides with dipyrrolidinomethoxyphosphine in the presence of 4, 5-dichloroimidazole using 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone as solvent. The purity ...
