[0106] In the synthesis routes (1) and (2), in the first step, a phosphorylating agent is first activated, and in the next step, it is reacted with a nucleoside or a nucleoside monophosphate.
[0107] (1) Synthesis route using a nucleoside as a starting material
[0108] In the present route, pyrophosphoryl chloride as a phosphorylating agent is reacted with a cocatalyst compound in the presence or absence of a catalyst compound in a solvent to prepare a phosphate activator. Then, the obtained phosphate activator is reacted with a nucleoside protected with a base moiety-protecting group or unprotected in a hydrophilic organic solvent or a water-hydrophilic organic solvent to obtain a target 5'-diphosphate moiety-activated nucleotide (in formula (II), X = Y = Cl, Z = Cl or O - ).

As the hydrophilic organic solvent, trimethyl phosphate is preferred. The reaction temperature is preferably -30°C to 30°C, and more preferably 0°C, in the step of preparing the phosphoric acid activator. It is preferably 10°C to 70°C, and more preferably 50°C, in the step after the addition of the nucleoside.

[0114] (2) Synthetic route using nucleoside 5'-monophosphate as a starting material
[0115] In the present route, a polychlorinating agent is reacted with a co-catalyst compound in the presence or absence of a catalyst compound in a solvent to prepare a phosphoric acid activator. Then, the resulting phosphoric acid activator is reacted with a nucleoside 5'-monophosphate having a base moiety protected or unprotected by a protecting group in a hydrophilic organic solvent or a water-hydrophilic organic solvent to obtain a target 5'-diphosphate partially activated nucleotide (in formula (II), X = Y = azole or heterocyclic compound derivative, Z = azole, heterocyclic compound derivative or O - ).

When anhydrous phosphorus oxychloride is mixed with a Lewis acid as a catalyst compound, an activated substance of diphosphate type is formed, but depending on the reaction conditions, a substance in which only one phosphate is added to the nucleotide monophosphate becomes the main product.
[0117] As the co-catalyst compound used in the synthetic route (2), imidazole or benzimidazole can be given, with imidazole being preferred.
[0118] As the catalyst compound used in the synthetic route (2), an organic catalyst such as HOBT, HOAu, HOCU, or DMT-MM, a Lewis acid such as iron chloride, aluminum chloride, zinc chloride, copper chloride, magnesium chloride, cesium chloride, and the like, an inorganic or organic salt such as cerium triflate or scandium triflate can be given.

Then, a co-catalyst compound is reacted with the obtained nucleotide 5'-diphosphochloride in a hydrophilic organic solvent, a water-hydrophilic organic solvent, or water, to obtain the target 5'-diphosphate portion-activated nucleotide acid (in formula (II), X = Y = azole or heterocyclic compound derivative, Z = azole, heterocyclic compound derivative, or O -).

In contrast, 2-chloro-l,3-dimethylimidazoline chloride can be chlorinated without adding a phosphate. Therefore, it can be used when chlorinating a nucleoside diphosphate. In order to promote chlorination, a condensing agent can be used in combination. As the condensing agent, DMT-MM or COMU as a urea onium type condensing agent, DCC, DIC, or EDC as a carbodiimide type condensing agent, Py-BOP as a phosphonium type condensing agent, and the like can be used.

[0129] The 5'-diphosphate partially-activated nucleotide of the present embodiment can be confirmed by LC-MS or 31 P-NMR confirms its production.
[0130] The synthesis method of polyphosphorylated nucleosides using 5'-phosphate partially-activated nucleotides of the present embodiment will be described. The 5'-diphosphate partially-activated nucleotide obtained in the above synthetic routes (1) to (3) is condensed with nucleoside 5'-phosphate in the presence of water to obtain a polyphosphorylated nucleoside.
[0131] In the synthesis method of polyphosphorylated nucleosides using 5'-phosphate partially-activated nucleotides of the present embodiment, the nucleoside 5'-phosphate used can be guanosine 5'-phosphate, N7-methylguanosine 5'-phosphate, or 5'-monophosphorylated nucleic acid selected from RNA, DNA, DNA / RNA chimera, and RNA containing modified nucleosides.
[0132] In the synthesis method of the present embodiment, a commercially available inexpensive chlorinating agent or polychlorinating agent can be used to synthesize the phosphate partially-activated nucleoside. Thus, by minimizing the synthetic route using nucleoside or monophosphate as a starting material, the starting material can be obtained at a lower cost compared to the conventional synthesis method.
[0133] In the synthesis method of polyphosphorylated nucleosides of the present embodiment, synthesis is performed using 5'-diphosphate partially-activated nucleotides. The 5'-diphosphate partially-activated nucleotide of the present embodiment can effectively construct polyphosphate when water is used as a solvent for polyphosphate synthesis. Position selectivity, functional group selectivity, and reactivity are high, and side reactions are few.
[0134] In addition, according to the synthesis method of the present embodiment, the number of steps is small compared to the conventional method, and the reaction system is simple, so that the purification step can be made more simple.
[0135] According to the present embodiment, synthesis of 5'-diphosphate partially-activated nucleotides and synthesis of polyphosphorylated nucleosides can be performed in water or a hydrophilic organic solvent containing water. Thus, nucleoside monophosphate or nucleoside diphosphate used as a starting material can be recovered and used again for synthesis.
[0136] According to the synthesis method of polyphosphorylated nucleosides of the present embodiment, one starting material can be converted into an activated diphosphate nucleoside, and polyphosphorylated nucleosides of left-right symmetric structure can be synthesized.
[0137] In addition, according to the synthesis method of polyphosphorylated nucleosides of the present embodiment, a kind of starting material is converted into an activated diphosphorylated nucleotide, which is reacted with a monophosphorylated or diphosphorylated nucleotide or the like. Before forming a symmetrical dimer, by adding an unactivated phosphonucleoside solution (0.1 to 5.0 equivalents, preferably 1.0 equivalent, with respect to the activated diphosphorylated nucleotide) to the activated diphosphorylated nucleotide, a left and right asymmetric polyphosphorylated nucleoside can be synthesized.
[0138] According to the synthesis method of polyphosphorylated nucleosides of the present embodiment, by adding R 1 , R 2 , and any one of biotinylated, the target can be obtained by affinity purification.
[0139] As an example of polyphosphonucleosides, a synthesis method of G2P3 using guanosine as a starting material is described.
