Biomimetic One-Pot Synthesis of Nucleotide Phosphates

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0040-4039(82)80145-7

A strongly hydrophobic rigid diammonium, 1, an efficient extracting and transporting phase transfer reagent with high specificity for the pyrophosphate grouping, was used to synthesize ADP, ATP or ADP-NH2 in a hydrophobic medium.Thus, practically pure ADP-NH2 was obtained in 65 percent yield within 2 min.
