Abstract

AZT/d4T phosphonates were synthesized by sequential condensation of AZT/d4T with the corresponding alcohols or 5′-DMT-thymidine in the presence of pivaloyl chloride. Sequential silylation, boronation, and hydrolysis in ammonium hydroxide of these phosphonates led to anti-HIV prodrug candidates AZT/d4T boranophosphates.
