Prokop,Milewska
experimental part, p. 1317 - 1322 (2010/07/05)
A method of synthesis of trisodium (R)-homocitrate starting from citric acid is reported. The procedure affords the final product of high optical purity with satisfactory yield.
Synthesis and siderophore activity of vibrioferrin and one of its diastereomeric isomers

Total synthesis of vibrioferrin (1), a siderophore, was achieved via a chiral dibenzyl citrate obtained by optical resolution. The citrate moiety of vibrioferrin was determined to have the R configuration and one of the diastereomeric isomers (1b) of 1 did not exhibit siderophore activity.
The design and synthesis of nucleoside triphosphate isosteres as potential inhibitors of HIV reverse transcriptase
Weaver, Richard,Gilbert, Ian H.
, p. 5537 - 5562 (2007/10/03)
We describe the synthesis of a variety of lipophilic isosteres of nucleoside triphosphates as potential anti-HIV agents. The citrate molecule proved to be a good mimic of triphosphate by modelling in terms of charge and spatial distribution. Several lipophile derivatives of citrate were conjugated to the precedented anti-HIV nucleoside d4T via ester and amide linkages. A novel synthesis of 5'-amino-d4T is included. Intramolecular rearrangement of several amide-linked isosteres are also reported, along with an alternative synthetic strategy to the desired amide-linked isosteres.
