“…29 In this direction, we initially disclosed the synthesis of 5-alkynylated uracil-morpholino monomers, 5-substituted morpholino cytidine nucleosides including 8-substituted morpholino purine nucleosides using Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. [30][31][32][33] However, in these reports, none of the nucleosides were converted to chlorophosphoramidates that were suitable for PMO synthesis. Hence, as part of our research towards the development of functionalized PMOs ( F-PMOs), we report herein the synthesis of functionalized morpholino chlorophosphoramidates of cytidine, uridine (Fig.…”
