Abstract

Abstract The invention relates to phosphorylating agents containing at least one protected hydroxyl group and at least one leaving group. According to the invention, a methylsulphonylethyl group (Mse) is used as the hydroxyl protecting group. Typical examples of such phosphorylating agents are the compounds (MseO) 2 POL, (MseO) POLL', (MseO) 2 PL and (M-seO)PLL', in which L and L' are leaving groups. The invention also relates to processes for preparing these phosphorylating agents and processes for the phosphorylation of organic hydroxyl or amine compounds, in particular nucleosides and (poly)nucleotides.
