The attachment of the BH3 group to the phosphorus atom is the crucial step in the synthesis of boranophosphate 1 and ‐triphosphate 2. These compounds could be as useful in biochemical and molecular biological investigations as the related thiophosphates because of the prochiral (in 1) and chiral (in 2) phosphorus centers and the similar charge distribution to the thiophosphates.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
