Prodrugs of therapeutic nucleoside monophosphates masked as phosphoramidate derivatives have become an increasingly important class of antiviral drugs in pharmaceutical research for delivering nucleotides in vitro and in vivo. Conventionally, phosphoramidate derivatives are prepared as a mixture of two diastereomers. We report a class of stable phosphoramidating reagents containing an amino acid ester and two phenolic groups, one unsubstituted and the other with electron-withdrawing substituents. The reagents can be isolated as single diastereomers and reacted with the 5′-hydroxyl group of nucleosides through selective nucleophilic displacement of the substituted phenol to prepare single diastereomer phosphoramidate products. This method has been used to prepare the HCV clinical candidate PSI-7977 in high yield and high diastereomeric purity.
