Abstract: | Diastereomers of the title compound were obtained and absolute configuration was assigned by means of stereochemical correlation. Their reaction with 3'-O-methoxyacetylthymidine in the presence of triisopropylbenzenesulphonyl (4-nitro) triazole is neither chemo- nor stereo-selective and leads to diastereomeric pairs of dithymidyl (3',5')methanephosphonate and -methanephosphonothioate. Obtained results are discussed in terms of mechanism of activation of phosphodiesters under conditions known as "phosphotriester approach to oligonucleotide synthesis". |
