Synthesis of the TT pyrimidine (6-4) pyrimidone photoproduct-thio analogue phosphoramidite building block.
The phosphoramidite building block synthesis of the thio analogue at the 5,6-dihydropyrimidine C5 position of the thymidylyl(3'-5')thymidine (6-4) photoproduct 1 is presented. This compound was readily obtained from the appropriately protected dinucleotide P-methyl-5'-O-dimethoxytritylthymidilyl(3' --> 5')-4-thiothymidine 2 after irradiation at 366 nm, then S-sulfenylmethylation of the thiol function of the resulting (6-4) adduct, and phosphitylation of the 3'-hydroxyl group.
