A group of unnatural 1-(2-deoxy-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)-2,4-difluorobenzenes possessing a 5-I or 5-CF3 substituent, that were originally designed as thymidine mimics, were coupled via their 5'-OH group to a cyclosaligenyl (cycloSal) ring system having a variety of C-3 substituents (Me, OMe, H). The 5'-O-cycloSal-pronucleotide concept was designed to effect a thymidine kinase-bypass, thereby providing a method for the intracellular delivery and generation of the 5'-O-monophosphate for nucleosides that are poorly phosphorylated. The 5'-O-cycloSal pronucleotide phosphotriesters synthesized in this study were obtained as a 1:1 mixture of two diastereomers that differ in configuration (S(P) or R(P)) at the asymmetric phosphorous center.
