Focusing on the recent literature (since 2000), this review outlines the main synthetic
approaches for the preparation of 5′-mono-, 5′-di-, and 5′-triphosphorylated …

Oligophosphates play essential roles in biochemistry, and considerable research has been
directed toward the synthesis of both naturally occurring oligophosphates and their synthetic …

Condensed phosphates may exist as linear, cyclic or branched structures. Due to their
important role in nature, linear polyphosphates have been well studied. In contrast …

Pentametaphosphate is the little studied cyclic pentamer of the metaphosphate ion,[PO3] 55–
. We show that the doubly protonated form of this pentamer can be selectively dehydrated to …

Phenotypes are established by tight regulation on protein functions. This regulation can be
mediated allosterically, through protein binding, and covalently, through post-translational …

P‐Amidites can be used in iterative couplings to selectively give mixed PIII–PV anhydrides.
These intermediates can be oxidized followed by a rapid removal of the two terminal …

Phosphorylation of alcohols is a fundamentally important reaction in both life science and
physical science. Product phosphate monoesters play key roles in living organisms, natural …

An iterative polyphosphorylation approach is described, which is based on a
phosphoramidite (P‐amidite) derived reagent (c‐PyPA) obtained from the cyclization of …

Trimetaphosphate (TriMP,[P3O9] 3–) reacts with PyAOP ([(H8C4N) 3PON4C5H3][PF6]) to
yield an activated TriMP,[P3O9P (NC4H8) 3]−(1), incorporating a phosphonium moiety …

Phosphoanhydrides (P‐anhydrides) are ubiquitously occurring modifications in nature.
Nucleotides and their conjugates, for example, are among the most important building …
