A new method for the post‐synthetic modification of nucleic acids was developed that involves mixing a phenyl triazolinedione (PTAD) derivative with DNA containing a vinyl nucleobase. The resulting reactions proceeded through step‐wise mechanisms, giving either a formal [4+2] cycloaddition product, or, depending on the context of nucleobase, PTAD addition along with solvent trapping to give a secondary

生物与含有
乙烯基核碱基的DNA混合。最终的反应通过逐步机制进行,给出了正式的[4 + 2]环加成产物,或者取决于核碱基的情况,还添加了
PTAD以及溶剂捕集,从而在

PTAD与
5-乙烯基-2'-脱氧尿苷(VdU)的末端烯烃之间的无催化剂加成异常快,其二级速率常数为2×10 3 m -1 s -1。
