Oligomerization Aiming at Phosphonate Analogues of Oligoadenylates.

This work deals with isopolar, phosphonate-based nucleotide analogues containing a bridging P-C bond instead of the ester P-O linkage. Specifically, starting from activated derivatives 1, 2, and 3, a simple process for preparation of mixtures of short oligomers and their analyses were elaborated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
