The conformation of the 7-bromo- and 7-iodo-substituted 8-aza-7-deazapurine nucleosides 1 and 2 in the solid state and in aqueous solution was studied by single-crystal X-ray analyses and by H-1-NMR spectroscopy. In the solid state, both compounds display a high-anti conformation around the glycosylic bond, and their 2'-deoxy-beta-D-ribofuranose moieties adopt an N-type sugar puckering. The orientation of the exocyclic C(4')-C(5') bond was found to be crp in both cases. In D2O solution, both compounds display i) an 8-10% higher N-conformer population than 2'-deoxyguanosine and ii) a preference of the -sc conformation about the C(4')-C(5') bond. A comparative study on the influence of modified bases on the sugar structure of nucleosides is made.
Oligonucleotides Containing Pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines: The Influence of 7-Substituted 8-Aza-7-deaza-2′-deoxyguanosines on the Duplex Structure and Stability
Oligonucleotides containing 7-substituted 8-aza-7-deazaguanines (= 6-amino-1,5-dihydro-4H-pyrazolo[3.4-d]pyrimidin-4-ones) were prepared by automated solid-phase synthesis. A series of 7-alkynylated 8-aza-7-deaza-2'-deoxyguanosines (see 4a-d)were synthesized with the 7-iodonucleoside 3c as starting material and by the Pd-0/Cu-I-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction with various alkynes. Phosphoramidites were prepared from the 7-substituted 8-aza-7-deaza-2'-deoxyguanosine derivatives carrying halogeno, cyano, and hexynyl substituents. From the melting profiles of oligonucleotide duplexes. the T-m values as well as the thermodynamic data were determined. A significant duplex stabilization by the 7-substituents was observed for the DNA . DNA duplexes, but not in the case of DNA . RNA hybrids.
