Abstract

A series of AZT 5′-O-hydrogen phospholipids 5a-e were synthesized by a tandem transesterification of diphenyl phosphite (DPP) with AZT and a long-chain alcohol. This method has the merits of easy operation and high yields. The corresponding phosphonates, phosphorothionates and phosphoroselenoates of 5d and 5e and the phosphoramidates conjugated with l-amino acid methyl ester 9a and 9b were also synthesized.

Key words

phosphorylations - transesterification - phosphonate - antiviral agents - nucleosides - phospholipids - phosphorus
