A reaction of DBU promoted ring opening in nucleoside‐3'‐ O ‐ and nucleoside‐5'‐ O ‐(2‐thio‐4,4‐pentamethylene‐1,3,2‐oxathiaphospholane) monomers with a pyrophosphate or a methylenediphosphonate anion proceeds with substantial loss of stereoselectivity. Depending on the absolute configuration of the phosphorus atom, so far widely accepted the stereoretentive mechanism of condensation is accompanied by a stereoinvertive one, most likely employing an intramolecular ligand–ligand exchange in an uncharged intermediate .
