Aj. Lawrence et al., THE SYNTHESIS OF 2'-C-FUNCTIONALIZED NUCLEOSIDES FOR INCORPORATION INTO CATALYTIC RNA, Nucleosides & nucleotides, 16(7-9), 1997, pp. 1497-1501
Five 2'-C-functionalized nucleosides (1-5) have been prepared and inco
rporated into dinucleoside monophosphates. The effect of the functiona
lity on the stability of the adjacent phosphodiester bond toward hydro
lysis by nuclease enzymes and extremes of pH has been assessed.
