title: Efficient synthesis of 2'-deoxynucleoside 3'-C-phosphonates: reactivity of geminal hydroxyphosphonate moiety.
abstract: In this report we present a novel, simple way for the synthesis of 3'-C-phosphonate derivatives of all four basic 2'-deoxynucleosides in both fully protected and deprotected forms. The reactivity of the geminal hydroxy phosphonate moiety located at the 3'-carbon atom of the nucleoside was studied with respect to the use of this type of nucleoside phosphonic acid for the preparation of short oligonucleotides, namely, dinucleoside monophosphate analogues.
