A novel synthesis of nucleoside 5′-triphosphates

Abstract
Facile syntheses of ribonucleoside 5′-triphosphates have been accomplished in good yield (>60%) in a one-pot reaction of unprotected nucleosides with phosphoryl chloride followed by treatment of the resulting phosphorodichloridate with tri-n-butylammonium phosphate in the presence of dimethylformamide.
