The third generation of cycloSal-pronucleotides, 5-diacetoxymethyl- cycloSal-d4T-monophosphates (5-di-AM-cycloSal-d4TMPs), is reported as a new class of "lock-in"-modified cycloSal-pronucleotides. These compounds bear an esterase-cleavable geminal dicarboxylate (acylal) attached to the aromatic ring of the saligenyl unit. The conversion into a strong acceptor group (aldehyde) leads to a strong decrease in hydrolytic stability. As a consequence, a fast release of a nucleoside monophosphate (i.e., d4TMP) follows. The concept of this enzymatic activation is proven by hydrolysis studies in phosphate buffer, cell extracts, and human serum. These investigations showed the conversion of the acylal group into a polar aldehyde by enzymatic cleavage. Besides, antiviral activities against HIV are presented.

The solvolysis of 25 differently substituted chloromethylated phenols was studied kinetically in methanol at 25 deg C.A sharp decrease of the initial reaction rate with increasing concentrations of added acids can be explained by a very fast solvolysis of the phenolate anions in comparison with the undissociated compounds.The latter show strictly first order kinetics up to high conversions and the rate constants can be partly correlated with the Jaffe relation.Highly negative values for the reaction constants ρ=-5.4 and ρ=-6.2 for ortho- and para-chloromethylated compounds show, that the undissociated phenols react according to the SN1-mechanism.However, deviations are found for compounds with strongly electron attracting substituents, which may be partly caused by an intramolecular catalytic effect of the phenolic hydroxy group in the case of the ortho-isomers. - Keywords: Methanolysis, Chloromethylated Phenols, Anchimeric Assistance
