Cn. Tetzlaff et al., A CONVENIENT SYNTHESIS OF 5'-AMINO-5'-DEOXYTHYMIDINE AND PREPARATION OF PEPTIDE-DNA HYBRIDS, Tetrahedron letters, 39(24), 1998, pp. 4215-4218
5'-Amino-5'-deoxythymidine was prepared from thymidine in two steps an
d converted to its known 5'-methoxytrityl-protected 3'-phosphoramidite
building block for DNA assembly on solid supports. Using this buildin
g block, peptide-DNA hybrids were synthesized in stepwise manner or vi
a fragment condensation, both as single compounds and as small combina
torial libraries. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
