A new synthetic route to a 3′-fluoro-3′-deoxytetrose adenine phosphonate has been developed. The synthesis starts from l-xylose and key steps include the stereospecific introduction of the phosphonomethoxy group and adenine. In addition, a regioselective

Organocatalyzed direct glycosylation of unprotected and unactivated carbohydrates is reported. This process is catalyzed by triphenylphosphine and tetrabromomethane at room temperature under neutral conditions. With this operationally simple protocol thermodynamically favored, glycosides were obtained in a very straightforward reaction.

2-Methylbenzimidazole ribonucleoside arylphosphates (1a,b) and alkylphosphates (2a,b) were synthesized as RNA model compounds containing a minimised number of exchangeable protons. Intramolecular transesterification of these substrates was studied in H2O and D2O solutions over a wide pL range and apparent kinetic solvent deuterium isotope effects of the alkaline cleavage of both substrates and of the cleavage and isomerisation of 2a under neutral and acidic conditions were determined. The observed K H2O/kD2O of 4.9 obtained for the alkaline cleavage of the arylphosphate 1b can be primarily attributed to the ΔpK of the attacking nucleophile. The alkyl leaving group in 2a brings about an additional 1.5-fold isotope effect (kH2O/kD2O of 7.1 observed), which, considering the pL-dependence of the reaction, can not be explained by a process involving a proton transfer. Differences in solvation of the transition state are tentatively suggested as a source of the difference. In contrast to alkaline cleavage, under neutral and acidic conditions the cleavage and isomerisation of 2a showed no apparent solvent isotope effect. Several examples found in the literature show that intramolecular proton transfer from phosphate to the leaving group in pre-equilibria may not necessarily result in an observable solvent isotope effect. This may also explain the results obtained in the present work, since intramolecular proton transfer processes take place in transesterification reactions of 2a under neutral and acidic conditions. Relevance of the results obtained in the base catalysed cleavage to hammerhead ribozyme reaction is briefly discussed. Copyright
