5'- labeled RNA oligos are important probes to investigate the mechanism of 2'--transphosphorylation reactions. Here we describe a general and efficient synthetic approach to the phosphoramidite derivatives of 5'- labeled nucleosides starting from the corresponding commercially available 5'--DMT protected nucleosides. Using this method, we prepared 5'--guanosine phosphoramidite in 8 steps (13.2% overall yield), 5'-adenosine phosphoramidite in 9 steps (10.1% overall yield) and 5'--2'-deoxyguanosine phosphoramidite in 6 steps (12.8% overall yield). These 5'- labeled phosphoramidites can be incorporated into RNA oligos by solid phase synthesis for determination of heavy atom isotope effects in RNA 2'--transphosphorylation reactions.
5′-标记 RNA 寡核苷酸是研究 2′-转磷酸反应机制的重要探针。在这里,我们描述了一种从相应的商业上可获得的 5′-DMT 保护核苷起始的 5′-标记核苷的磷酰胺衍生物的通用且有效的合成方法。使用该方法,我们以 8 步(总收率为 13.2%)制备了 5′-鸟苷磷酰胺,以 9 步(总收率为 10.1%)制备了 5′-腺苷磷酰胺,并以 6 步(总收率为 12.8%)制备了 5′-2′-脱氧鸟苷磷酰胺。这些 5′-标记的磷酰胺可以通过固相合成掺入 RNA 寡核苷酸中,以确定 RNA 2′-转磷酸反应中的重原子同位素效应。
