Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) has been converted into its 8-bromo derivative and 2'O-TBDMS protected before activation of the phosphoric acid moiety with a reagent generated in situ from oxalyl chloride and DMF. Further reactions with primary amines furnished corresponding phosphoramidates with high stereoselectivity at the phosphorus atom. Cross-coupling reactions with the 8-bromopurine yielded 8-hetaryl derivatives. X-Ray analyses showed the amidates to possess the (S(P))-configuration. Carbon disulfide effected thiylation under strongly basic conditions stereospecifically provided the (R(P))-phosphorothioic acids.
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.
