Abstract

The syntheses of two O-alkyl-5', 5'-dinucleoside phosphotriesters 2a and 2b as combined prodrugs of the antiviral drug AZT (1) and the antibiotic agent cordycepin (3) are described. 2a, b were obtained as a 1: 1 diastereomeric mixture. The absolute configuration of the isolated diastereomers was determined by NOE NMR experiments and correlated with the migration characteristics on silica gel as well as the 31P-NMR chemical shift. The ...
