title: Synthesis of 3'-o-phosphonoethyl nucleosides with an adenine and a thymine base moiety.
abstract: The synthesis and antiviral evaluation of new 3'-O-phosphonoethyl modified phosphonate nucleosides related to PMDTA and PMDTT is described. The reaction scheme starts from protected L-threose and the phosphonate group is introduced by the Arbuzov reaction. The 2'-OH as well as the 2'-deoxygenated nucleosides have been obtained. Unfortunately, none of these synthesized compounds shows activity against HIV and HCV.
