title: Synthesis of 2'-C-alpha-difluoromethylarauridine and its 3'-O-phosphoramidite incorporation into a hammerhead ribozyme.
abstract: The 2'-C-difluoromethylated nucleoside 4 was synthesized starting from uridine. 4 was then converted to the 3'-O-phosphoramidite derivative 5 and was incorporated into a hammerhead ribozyme (7). The cleavage characteristics of the modified oligonucleotide have been analysed.
