A polymer-bound alpha,beta-methylene-beta-triphosphitylating reagent was synthesized and subjected to reactions with unprotected nucleosides, followed by oxidation, deprotection of cyanoethoxy groups, and acidic cleavage to afford nucleoside 5'-O-alpha,beta-methylene-beta-triphosphates. Among all the compounds, cytidine 5'-O-alpha,beta-methylene-beta-triphosphate inhibited RNase H activity of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase with a K(i) value of 225 microM.
