Abstract
Synthesis and stereochemical characterization of enantiomerically pure nucleoside-phosphorothioselenoates are reported. The effects of solvent and temperature on the vicinal carbon-phosphorus couplings are described and the results are interpreted in terms of conformational changes influenced by stacking interactions between the bases and the phenyl rings.
