The efficient synthesis of 2-arylpyrimidine acyclic nucleoside phosphonates using Liebeskind–Srogl cross-coupling reaction

A series of novel acyclic nucleoside phosphonates with various aryls attached to the C-2 position of the pyrimidine moiety has been prepared using the Liebeskind–Srogl cross-coupling protocol. The reactions of highly functionalised 2-(methylsulfanyl)pyrimidines with various arylboronic acids were studied and optimised.
