In nucleoside/nucleotide chemistry, the regioselective cleavage of 5′-O-TBS groups of persilylated nucleosides is a desired approach for structural functionalization at the 5′-position. However, efficient and practical methods for this purpose are still limited. In our research, we found that homogeneous methanolic phosphomolybdic acid (PMA) efficiently catalyzes the regioselective deprotection of 5′- O -TBS groups of a diversity of persilylated nucleoside substrates and can be applied in practical synthesis at scales of up to 15 g. 31 P NMR results indicated that an anion cluster forms and the Lewis acidity of homogeneous PMA is organic-solvent dependent. The efficacy and pronounced regioselectivity of methanolic PMA occurs as a result of a lowering of the Lewis acid strength upon solvation of the molybdophosphate anions.
