Abstract

The synthesis and antiviral evaluation of new 3′-O-phosphonoethyl modified phosphonate nucleosides related to PMDTA and PMDTT is described. The reaction scheme starts from protected L-threose and the phosphonate group is introduced by the Arbuzov reaction. The 2′-OH as well as the 2′-deoxygenated nucleosides have been obtained. Unfortunately, none of these synthesized compounds shows activity against HIV and HCV.
