Synthesis of C4′-epi-DNA containing 3′→ 5″ linkages is reported for the first time. Crystal structure study of the monomer indicated that though the dihedral angle O3′-C3′-C4′-C5″ in this case would be like in RNA, the sugar conformation would remain like that in DNA. The study of the effect of this backbone configuration in DNA with respect to its binding to cDNA and RNA is reported in this note.
A convenient protection for 4-oxopyrimidine moieties in nucleosides by the pivaloyl group
Sobkowski, Michal
experimental part, p. 33 - 57 (2010/07/05)
Application of the pivaloyl group as a protection for the N3 position of thymidine and uridine was investigated. Pivaloylation of thymidine is a very rapid reaction proceeding under mild conditions with excellent regioselectivity for sugar or thymine moiety, depending on the amines used. Several pivaloylated thymidine derivatives were obtained by treatment of unprotected thymidine with pivaloyl chloride under various experimental conditions. Stability of the N3-pivaloyl protecting group under basic and acidic conditions was evaluated and the conditions for its selective removal were found.
Nucleosidyl-O-methylphosphonates: A pool of monomers for modified oligonucleotides
Rejman, Dominik,Masojidkova, Milena,Rosenberg, Ivan
, p. 1683 - 1705 (2007/10/03)
An unique set of 5′-O- and 3′-O-phosphonomethyl derivatives of four natural 2′-deoxyribonucleosides, 1-(2-deoxy-β-D-threo- pentofuranosyl)thymine, 5′-O- and 2′-O-phosphonomethyl derivatives of 1-(3-deoxy-β-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)thymine, and 1-(3-deoxy-β-D- threo-pentofuranosyl)thymine has been synthesized as a pool of monomers for the synthesis of modified oligonucleotides. The phosphonate moiety was protected with 4-methoxy-1-oxido-2-pyridylmethyl ester group, serving also as an intramolecular catalyst in the coupling step.
