Methylphosphonic dichloride was used to prepare protected deoxyribonucleoside 3'-methylphosphonate beta-cyanoethyl esters, d-[(MeO)2Tr]NpCNEt, and protected oligonucleoside methylphosphonates in solution. Reaction of d-[(MeO)2Tr]N with methylphosphonic dichloride gives d-[(MeO)2Tr]NpCl. The phosphonylation and subsequent esterification or condensation reactions are each complete within 60 min. The products are readily purified by "flash chromatography" on silica gel columns. d-[(MeO)2Tr]NpCl, or its tetrazole derivative, d-[(MeO)2Tr]Nptet, were tested as intermediates for the synthesis of oligothymidine methylphosphonates on a silica gel polymer support. The average yield per coupling step was 76% and did not increase with addition of more d-[(MeO)2Tr]TpCl. The formation of (5'-5') linked thymidine dimers indicated that the thymidine monomers are clustered closely together on the support. When N is ibuG, the yield for the coupling step on the support is very low. This may be due to steric hindrance of the 3'-phosphonate group by the N-2 isobutryl protecting group.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007202 Indicators and Reagents Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.
