Abstract

Synthesis of RNA dimers having a methyl phosphotriester group as the internucleoside linkage is reported; six pairs of diastereoisomerically pure system were prepared, Le., r (CpU)(151, r (ApU)(16), r (CpC)(17), r (ApC)(18), r (CpG)(19), and r (ApG)(20). Compounds 15-20 are stabilized by a 2'-0-methyl group in the 5'-terminal residue. The present systems represent the third class of backbone-modified RNA oligomers, following the 2'-O- ...
