An oligonucleotide of triazole‐linked RNA (TLRNA) was synthesized by performing consecutive copper‐catalyzed azide‐alkyne cycloaddition reactions for elongation. The reaction conditions that had been optimized for the synthesis of 3‐mer TLRNA were found to be inappropriate for longer oligonucleotides, and the conditions were reoptimized for the solid‐phase synthesis of an 11‐mer TLRNA oligonucleotide. Duplex formation of the 11‐mer TLRNA oligonucleotide was examined with the complementary oligonucleotide of natural RNA to reveal the effects of the 2′‐OH groups on the duplex stability.
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.
