摘要:
The thioamide derivatives 3'-deoxy-5'- O-(4,4'-dimethoxytrityl)-3'-[ (2-methyl-1-thioxopropyl)amino] thymidine (4a) and 3'-deoxy-5'-O-(4,4'-dimethoxytrityl)-3'-{{6-{[9H-(fluoren-9-ylmethoxy)carbonyl]amino}-1-thioxohexyl}amino}thymidine (4b) were synthesized by regioselective thionation of the corresponding amides 3a and 3b with 2,4-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3,2,4-dithiadiphosphetane 2,4-disulfide (Lawesson's reagent). The addition of exact amounts of pyridine to the reaction mixture proved to be essential for an efficient transformation. The thioamides were converted into the corresponding 5'-triphosphates 6a and 6b. Compound 6a was chosen for DNA sequencing experiments, and 6b was further labelled with fluorescein (-->8).
