Synthesis of Glycosyl Boranophosphates and Their Applications as Precursors of Glycosyl Phosphate Analogues

Abstract

Glycosyl boranophosphate triesters were synthesized via a boranophosphorylation of reducing sugars. The usefulness of the resultant glycosyl boranophosphates as versatile chemically stable precursors of various glycosyl phosphate derivatives is demonstrated.
