Working Paper
This content is a preprint and has not undergone peer review at the time of posting.

Abstract

Phosphodiester are important structural motifs observed in a diverse field of molecular science. It is, thus, important to develop a simple and robust way to synthesize them from corresponding alcohols. Here we report a single-step asymmetric phosphodiester synthesis from alcohols with phosphoenolpyruvate phosphodiesters as phosphoryl donors. This transformation allows for the use of various functionalized alcohols as substrates, and would be useful for diverse fields including biology and medicine.
