7-deaza-2'-deoxyxanthosine: nucleobase protection and base pairing of oligonucleotides.
Oligonucleotides containing 7-deaza-2'-deoxyxanthosine (1) and 2'-deoxyxanthosine (2) were prepared. The 2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethyl group is applicable for 7-deazaxanthine protection that is removed with DBU by beta-elimination, while the deprotection of the allyl residue with Pd (0) catalyst failed. Contrarily, the allyl group was found to be an excellent protecting group for 2'-deoxyxanthosine (2). The base pairing of nucleosides 1 and 2 with the four canonical DNA constituents as well as with 3 within the 12-mer duplexes is studied.
