Synthesis of conformationally restricted nucleic acid fragments using ring-closing alkene and enyne metathesis reactions.
In the aim of constructing conformationally restricted nucleic acid fragments for the recognition of secondary RNA structures, we have synthesized different mono- and dinucleotides containing extra rings. These rings were prepared by ring-closing alkene or enyne metathesis reactions from nucleotide substrates in which double or triple bonds have been introduced.
