Abstract
A general synthetic procedure is presented for the preparation of 5’-amino acid phosphoramidates of zidovudine (AZT), 3’-deoxy-2’,3’-didehydro-thymidine (D4T), and 3'-fluoro-3’-deoxythymidine (FLT) from their corresponding phosphoramidites. These water soluble amino acid phosphoramidates are more non-polar than the parent nucleoside and exhibit high stability in aqueous media.
