Abstract

2-(4-Nitrophenylethyl) methylenebis(phosphonate) (1) has been prepared by reaction of 2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethyl alcohol with methylenebis(phosphonyl) tetrachloride. Compound 1 was treated with diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC) to give bicyclic intermediate 2, which in reaction with suitably protected 2'- deoxynucleosides 3 gave P1,P2-disubstituted methylenebis(phosphonate)s 4. Removal of the nitrophenylethyl group by β-elimination with DBU afforded the corresponding 2'-deoxynucleoside 5'-methylene-bis(phosphonate) analogues 5.
