An industrially applicable process is provided for producing nucleic acids or derivatives thereof having their sugar-moiety hydroxyl groups or halogen atoms reduced.
According to this process, O-thiocarbonyl derivates of the sugar-moiety hydroxyl groups or derivatives halogenated in the sugar-moiety, are allowed to react, in the presence of a radical reaction initiator, with any one of hypophosphorous acids (including salts thereof) and phosphites (esters) which are inexpensive, non-toxic and safely usable as radical reducing agents on an industrial scale.
The process of the present invention is an industrially useful and highly safe process for reducing sugar-moiety hydroxyl groups and halogen atoms in nucleic acids or derivatives thereof (including nucleic acid-related compounds) at low costs.
