Abstract

A DNA duplex containing an N3-thymidine-butylene-N3-thymidine interstrand cross-link (ICL) was prepared using an on-column orthogonal deprotection strategy to permit different nucleotide sequence composition around the cross-linked site. The conditions used to remove 5′-O-allyloxycarbonyl and 3′-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl protective groups for various on-column oligonucleotide intermediates did not affect the cross-linked lesion. Efficient removal of these groups enabled successful coupling of 2′-deoxyphosphoramidites to produce the desired duplex with a 31% yield after deprotection and purification.
