Benzyl-functionalized cycloSal-d4T monophosphates.
Synthetic routes to benzyl-functionalized cycloSal-d4T monophosphates (7CH2X-cycloSal-d4TMP) have been developed. Their hydrolytic behavior in basic aqueous solution (pH = 7.3) was studied and their hydrolysis half-lives were determined. It turned out that two different degradation pathways are leading to different products: beside the formation of the expected d4TMP and a styrene type derivative, a phenyl-d4T-phosphodiester was obtained as well. The product distribution was specified.
