Abstract
In (S)-1-[3-hydroxy-2-(phosphonomethoxy)propyl]cytosine (HPMPC) and (S)-9-[3-hydroxy-2-(phosphonomethoxy)propyl]adenine (HPMPA) with 3-hydroxy functions protected with 4,4'-dimethoxytrityl (DMTr) groups, phosphonate groups were transformed to the morpholides and treated with bis(tributylammonium) diphosphate. Selective cleavage of the DMTr group in the presence of the labile diphosphate residue was achieved in water at pH 2.5. Purification by charcoal adsorption followed by anion exchange chromatography afforded phosphonate-diphosphate compounds (HPMPCpp, HPMPApp).
