Nucleoside diphosphates and triphosphates impact nearly every aspect of biochemistry. Now, a modular, reagent-based platform has been developed to enable the stereocontrolled and scalable synthesis of a library of such molecules. This operationally simple approach provides access to pure stereoisomers of nucleoside α-thiodiphosphates and α-thiotriphosphates.
