title: [Synthesis and fluorescent properties of oligonucleotides, containing a new fluorescent marker--n-(2-benzoxazolyl)tolane].
abstract: A functional (dihydroxybutyl) derivative of p-(2-benzoxazolyl)tolane, a fluorescent label novel for biopolymers, was synthesized. The functionalized solid support obtained on its basis was employed in the synthesis of oligodeoxynucleotides 3-terminally labeled with benzoxazolyltolane (these oligonucleotides also contained 1-phenylethynylpyrene residues). This fluorophore within its dihydroxybutyl derivative and the oligonucleotides modified with it displays an intensive fluorescence characterized by a high Stokes shift. The oligonucleotides labeled with this fluorophore are potential probes sensitive to the biopolymer microenvironment.
