The six-step synthesis of the di-triethylammonium salt of 5[prime]-O -trityl-6-N-pivaloyladenosine-2[prime]-(H -phosphonate)-3'-[(2-chlorophenyl) phosphate]9 from 3', 5'- O -(1,1,3,3-tetraisopropyldisiloxan-1,3-diyl)-6-N-pivaloyla denosine1in 68% overall yield is described. Compound9is converted into a branched pentaribonucleoside tetraphosphate 24 and a branched cyclic pentaribonucleotide ('la...

We report here a practical and efficient synthesis of α-aminophosphonic acid incorporated into 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline heterocycles, which could be considered to be conformationally constrained analogues of pipecolic acid. The principal contribution of this synthesis is the introduction of the phosphonate group in the N-acyliminium ion intermediates, obtai...

A syntheses of three new muramyl dipeptide (MDP) analogues related to LK 423 as potential immunomodulators are presented. The dipeptide part of the lead compound was modified by introducing a phosphonamide isostere instead of the amide bond between Lalanine and D-glutamic acid (or D-isoglutamine), yielding new MDP analogues 5 and 9. Furthermore, the amide bond between L-Ala and D-Glu was replac...

Three different series of phosphonate derivatives, b-aminoand fused thiadiazolo/thiadiazine-phosphonates have been synthesized using the addition and/or addition-cyclization protocol of Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons (HWE) reagents to 1,2,4-triazole-3-thiols. The design of potentially antimicrobial and anticancer phosphor esters relied on the results of computer-assisted molecular modeling. All synthe...

The properties of thermally reversible organogels in which the gelators consist of a phosphonic acid monoester, phosphonic acid, or phosphoric acid monoester and a ferric salt are probed by IR and NMR spectroscopies, optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction, rheology, and light and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) techniques. This is one of a small number of two-component molecular gelator sy...

deprotection of phosphate, phosphate, and sulfite esters by silica chloride is described. silica chloride is a mild, selective, and effective reagent for cleavage of benzyl and t-butyl esters of the above compounds.

The X-ray structural characterization of tritylphosphonic acid, Ph3CPO3H2 (), reveals that it possesses three different structural forms (a hexameric cage, a two-dimensional polymeric sheet and a dimer) depending upon the solvent used for crystallization. The reaction of cerium nitrate with under solvothermal conditions afforded a molecular dinuclear Ce(III) phosphonate, [Ce2{Ph3CPO2(OEt)}4(NO3...

Mixed-valent manganese phosphonate clusters [Mn(II)(8)Mn(III)(2)O(2)(O(3)PC(10)H(7))(4)(C(6)H(5)CO(2))(10)(py)(4)(H(2)O)(2)] (1) and [Mn(II)(4)Mn(III)(9)O(4)(OH)(2)(O(3)PC(10)H(7))(10)(C(6)H(5)CO(2))(5)(py)(8)(H(2)O)(6)] (2) are reported. Compound 1 is the first example of manganese phosphonate clusters prepared through a microwave-assisted technique. While compound 2 is obtained under ambient ...

The C-P lyase complex in bacteria catalyzes the transformation of phosphonates to orthophosphate under conditions of phosphate starvation. The first committed step in the C-P lyase-catalyzed reaction is the displacement of adenine from MgATP by phosphonate substrates, yielding ribose-1-phosphonate-5-triphosphate. In the C-P lyase complex, this reaction is catalyzed by the nucleosidase PhnI and ...
