Abstract

Acidic 1,3-azolium salts are prepared from Brønsted acids and 1,3-azoles such as imidazole, thiazole, and oxazole. Acidic imidazolium salts are frequently employed as promoters for the synthesis of nucleotides using the phosphoramidite method in a solution phase. Recently, it was revealed that thiazolium and oxazolium salts catalyzed Vorbrüggen-type N-glycosylation reactions to give nucleosides. These reactivities are attributed to the stronger Brønsted acidities of the thiazolium and oxazolium salts relative to those of the imidazolium salts. This digest focuses on recent progress in the applicability of acidic 1,3-azolium salts as promoters in the solution-phase synthesis of nucleosides and nucleotides.
