Suitably protected dithymidine H-phosphonates afforded the corresponding dinucleoside 2-pyridylphosphonates upon treatment with N-methoxypyridinium tosylate in acetonitrile in the presence of 1,8-diazabicylo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU). The reaction was rapid (ca. 5 min), practically quantitative and proceeded stereospecifically, most likely with retention of configuration at the phosphorus centre.
