Solid-phase synthesis of (poly)phosphorylated nucleosides and conjugates.

Succinyl-cycloSal-phosphate triesters of ribo- and 2'-deoxyribonucleosides were attached to aminomethyl polystyrene as an insoluble solid support and reacted with phosphate-containing nucleophiles yielding nucleoside di- and triphosphates, nucleoside diphosphate sugars, and dinucleoside polyphosphates in high purity after cleavage from the solid support. Here, reactive cycloSal-phosphate triesters were used as immobilized reagents that led to a generally applicable method for the efficient synthesis of phosphorylated biomolecules and phosphate-bridged bioconjugates.
