The combination of N-chlorodiisopropylamine and triphenylphosphine (1) was exploited as a new method for chlorination of the hydroxyl group on the nucleosides. A possible mechanism involving an oxyphosphonium intermediate 2a and a phosphorane intermediate 2b was proposed based on the results from 31P NMR spectrum.
