Ethyl(methyl)dioxirane as an efficient reagent for the oxidation of nucleoside phosphites into phosphates under nonbasic anhydrous conditions

Org Lett. 2001 Mar 22;3(6):815-8. doi: 10.1021/ol000364w.

Abstract

A convenient method for the oxidation of nucleoside phosphites into phosphates under nonbasic and nonaqueous conditions using commercially available ethyl(methyl)dioxirane has been developed. This oxidation is effective with both N-protected and N-unprotected strategies.
