In our aim to develop new chemical entity of anti-tumor and anti-HIV, the H-phosphonate 6 of AZT conjugate with diosgenin was synthesized by a tandem transesterification reaction for the first time. There are the merits of easy operation and high yield in the reported method. It could be extended to synthesize other diosgenin phosphonate conjugates such as carbohydrate and peptide.展开更多
