1. A method for the synthesis of a nucleic acid comprising a chiral X-phosphonate moiety comprising:
- reacting a molecule comprising an achiral H-phosphonate moiety, a chiral reagent, and a nucleoside comprising a 5′
-OH moiety to form a condensed intermediate; and
converting the condensed intermediate to the nucleic acid comprising a chiral X-phosphonate moiety, wherein;
the nucleic acid comprises a modified sugar, wherein the modified sugar contains one or more substituents at the 2′
-position selected from the group consisting of F, CF3, CN, N3, NO, NO2, O-, S-, or N-alkyl;
O-, S-, or N-alkenyl;
O-, S-, or N-alkynyl;
or O-alkyl-O-alkyl, O-alkyl-N-alkyl or N-alkyl-O-alkyl wherein the alkyl, alkenyl and alkynyl may be substituted or unsubstituted C1-C10 alkyl or C2-C10 alkenyl and alkynyl;
each instance of X is independently alkyl, alkoxy, aryl, alkylthio, acyl, —
NRfRf, alkenyloxy, alkynyloxy, alkenylthio, alkynylthio, —

Abstract
Described herein are methods of syntheses of phosphorous atom-modified nucleic acids comprising chiral X-phosphonate moieties. The methods described herein provide backbone-modified nucleic acids in high diasteteomeric purity via an asymmetric reaction of an achiral molecule comprising a chemically stable H-phophonate moiety with a nucleoside/nucleotide.
