摘要:
2'-Deoxy-5'-O-(4,4'-dimethoxytrityl)-5-methyl-N-4-(1-pyrenylmethyl)-alpha-cytidine (5) was prepared by reaction of 1-pyrenylmethylamine with an appropriate protected 4-(1,2,4-triazolyl)-alpha-thymidine derivative 3 which was synthesized from 5-O-DMT protected alpha-thymidine 1. Aminolysis of 3 afforded 3'-O-acetyl-2'-deoxy-5'-O-(4,4'-dimethoxytrityl)-5-methyl-alpha-cytidine (8). Benzoylation of 8 and removal of acetyl afforded N-4-benzoyl-(2)-deoxy-5-O-(4,4'-dimethoxytrityl)-5-methyl-alpha-cytidine (10). The amidites of compounds 5 and 10 were prepared and used in ol-oligonucleotide synthesis. DNA three-way junction (TWJ) is stabilized when an alpha-ODN is used for targeting the dangling flanks of the stem in a DNA hairpin. Further stabilization of the TWJ is observed when 5 is inserted into the alpha-ODN at the junction region.
