title: Syntheses of novel substituted-boranophosphate nucleosides.
abstract: A number of substituted (borano) nucleic acids, 3'-[diethylphosphite(cyano, carboxy, or carbamoyl) borano] deoxynucleosides (3a-4c) and 5'-[diethylphosphite(cyano or carboxy) borano] deoxynucleosides (6a-7d) were prepared by a variety of synthetic procedures. The syntheses of the pyrophosphates (2a-2c), as precursors for 3a-4c, are also described.
