A new and facile synthetic pathway to metabolically stable 5鈥?methylene-bis(pivaloyloxymethyl)(POM)phosphonate furanonucleoside prodrugs is reported. The key step involves a Horner鈥揥adsworth鈥揈mmons reaction of a tetra(pivaloyloxymethyl) bisphosphonate salt with appropriately protected 5鈥?aldehydic nucleosides. This efficient approach was applied for the synthesis HCV related 2鈥?deoxy-2鈥?伪-fluoro-2鈥?尾-C-methyl nucleosides.
