New 3'-terminal deoxyribonucleoside-loading reagents having a silyl-type linker were developed. They were effectively introduced into polymer supports under the conditions of Huisgen [3 + 2] cycloaddition without base protection. Moreover, four unmodified DNA oligomers d[TACCTAAATCCAX] (X = T, A, C, and A) and a base-labile modified DNA 12mer d[A*C*T*C*C*GT*C*T*A*C*G] 16 (A* = 6-N-acetyl-8-aza-7-deaza-2'-deoxyadenosine, C* = 4-N-acetyl-2'-deoxyctydine, T* = 2-thio-T) were successfully synthesized by cleavage of the silyl-type linker using Bu(4)NF under neutral conditions in our N-unprotected phosphoramidite method. In this paper, we also report a new reaction of chlorination of cytosine base using 1,3-dichloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
