Abstract

Abstract The invention relates to new phosphorylating agents, a process for producing said compounds and their use in a process for the phosphorylation of organic hydroxyl compounds to obtain intermediate products useful for the production of polynucleotides. The phosphorylation is achieved without side reactions at the purine- or pyrimidine bases.
