Efficient one-pot, three-component procedure to prepare new α-aminophosphonate and phosphonic acid acyclic nucleosides.

An efficient one-pot three-component Kabachnik-Fields reaction of aldehydes (acyclic nucleosides), amines (or amino acid), and triethyl phosphite proceeded for the synthesis of aminophosphonates using natural phosphate coated with iodine (I@NP) as a catalyst. The novel α-aminophosphonate and phosphonic acid acyclic nucleosides were tested for their anti-HCV and anti-HIV activities. The molecular docking showed that the non-activity of these compounds could be due to the absence of hydrophobic pharmacophores.

An economical synthesis of D- and L-pyrimidine arabino- and ribonucleosides.

The one-step synthesis of several β-D/L-arabino- and ribonucleosides was performed in good yields under reflux or microwave-assisted fusion method. A comparison of the two methods showed that better yields were obtained using the reflux conditions.

A one step synthetic approach to L-pyrimidine nucleosides using natural phosphate coated with potassium iodide as catalyst.

The one-step synthesis of several alpha-L-arabino and beta-L- xylonucleosides was performed in good yields under mild conditions by N-glycosylation of 1-O-acetyl-L-arabino and -xylofuranose using Vorbruggen type reaction conditions with or without Microwave irradiation.
