    Abstract:
    Syntheses of α-branched alkyl and aryl substituted 9-[2-(phosphonomethoxy)ethyl]purines from substituted 1,3-dioxolanes have been developed. Key synthetic precursors, α-substituted dialkyl [(2-hydroxyethoxy)methyl]phosphonates were prepared via Lewis acid mediated cleavage of 1,3-dioxolanes followed by reaction with dialkyl or trialkyl phosphites. The best preparative yields were achieved under conditions utilizing tin tetrachloride as Lewis acid and triisopropyl phosphite. Attachment of purine bases to dialkyl [(2-hydroxyethoxy)methyl]phosphonates was performed by Mitsunobu reaction. Final α-branched 9-[2-(phosphonomethoxy)ethyl]purines were tested for antiviral, cytostatic and antiparasitic activity, the latter one determined as inhibitory activity towards Plasmodium falciparum enzyme hypoxanthine-guanine-xanthine phosphoribosyltransfesase. In most cases biological activity was only marginal.
