Abstract: Prodrugs of Formula I, their uses, their intermediates, and their method of manufacture are described: wherein: M and V are cis to one another and MPO3H2 is a phosphonic acid selected from the group consisting of 9-(2-phosphonylmethoxyethyl)adenine, (R)-9-(2-phosphonylmethoxy propyl)adenine, 9-(2-phosphonylmethoxyethyl)guanine, 9-(2-phosphonylmethoxy ethyloxy)adenine, 9-(2-phosphonylmethoxyethyl)-2,6-diaminopurine, (S)-1-(3-hydroxy-2-phosphonylmethoxypropyl)cytosine, (S)-9-(3-hydroxy-2-phosphonylmethoxypropyl)adenine, 9-(3-hydroxy-2-phosphonylmethoxypropyl)guanine, and (S)-9-(3-fluoro-2-phosphonyl methoxypropyl)adenine; V is selected from a group consisting of phenyl, 2-pyridyl, 3-pyridyl, 4-pyridyl, 2-furanyl, 3-furanyl, 2-thienyl, and 3-thienyl, all optionally substituted with 1-3 substituents selected from a group consisting of F, Cl, Br, C1-C3 alkyl, CF3 and OR6; R6 is selected from the group consisting of C1-C3 alkyl, and CF3; and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.

Abstract: The method of preparing compounds of Formula I is described: wherein: M and V are cis to one another and MPO3H2 is a phosphonic acid selected from the group consisting of 9-(2-phosphonylmethoxyethyl)adenine, and (R)-9-(2-phosphonylmethoxypropyl)adenine; wherein V is phenyl, optionally substituted with 1–2 substituents selected from a group consisting of fluoro, chloro, and bromo; comprising: coupling a chiral 1-phenylpropane-1,3-diol, wherein the phenyl may be optionally substituted, with MPOCl2 or an N-6 substituted analogue thereof. Additionally, methods and salt forms are described that enable isolation and purification of the desired isomer.
