Phosphonate Isosteres of 2′,3′-Didehydro-2,3-dideoxynucleoside Monophosphates: Synthesis and Anti-HIV Activity

Abstract
Phosphonate analogues of d4T and d4A monophosphates have been synthesized using stereocontrolled addition of dimethyl hydroxymethylphosphonate to furanoid glycals. The new phosphonates exhibited a potent activity against HIV.
