Cholest-5-en-3-ol, 3-(6-(((2-cyanoethoxy)(diisopropylamino)phosphino)oxy)hexyl)carbemate, is a novel nucleotide analog that has antiviral and anticancer properties. It is synthesized by the reaction of 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone with 6-(chlorohexyl)-1,3-bis(2-(cyanoethoxy)phosphinooxy)hexane in the presence of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine), palladium chloride, and potassium carbonate. Cholest-5-en-3-ol, 3-(6((2-(cyanoethoxy)(diisopropylamino))(phosphino)oxy)(hexyl))carbamate may be used as a monophosphate or phosphoramidite to make DNA or RNA. This compound has been shown to
