Abstract
Several new nucleoside (12-15):and nucleoside phosphonate (27-30) analogues derived from (+/-)-cis-and -trans-2-hydroxymethyl-4-methyl-1,3-dioxolane have been prepared and their configurations assigned by H-1 NMR spectroscopy. First-order rate constants for the acid-catalysed hydrolysis of the dioxolane ring have been determined at different hydronium ion concentrations. The phosphonate group accelerates the hydrolysis at pH > 2 by 2 orders of magnitude, while at pH < 1 the hydrolytic stabilities of the nucleoside analogues and their phosphonate derivatives are comparable. The possible reasons for this rate-enhancement are discussed on the basis of the reaction mechanism.
