Oligonucleotide analogs are disclosed having pyrimidine monomeric sub-units therein that are modified at eh 2′ and 5′ positions. Monomeric sub-units having these modifications may be further modified at the 2′ position. Improved processes for the synthesis of 2′-O-substituted pyrimidine nucleosides are also provided. The processes feature alkylation of a 2,2′-anhydropyrimidine nucleoside or a 2S,2′-anhydropyrimidine nucleoside with a weak nucleophile in the presence of a Lewis acid.
本文揭示了含有
嘧啶单体亚基的寡核苷酸类似物,其在2'和5'位置被修饰。具有这些修饰的单体亚基可以在2'位置进一步修饰。还提供了改进的2'-O-取代
嘧啶核苷的合成过程。该过程特点是在Lewis酸存在下,使用弱亲核试剂烷基化2,2'-苯并
嘧啶核苷或2S,2'-苯并
嘧啶核苷。
