Jakeman et al. recently reported the inability to distinguish the diastereomers of uridine 5'-β,γ-fluoromethylenetriphosphate (β,γ-CHF-UTP, 1) by (19)F NMR under conditions we previously prescribed for the resolution of the corresponding β,γ-CHF-dGTP spectra, stating further that 1 decomposed under these basic conditions. Here we show that the (19)F NMR spectra of 1 (~1:1 diastereomer mixture prepared by coupling of UMP-morpholidate with fluoromethylenebis(phosphonic acid)) in D2O at pH 10 are indeed readily distinguishable. 1 in this solution was stable for 24 h at rt.
