Abstract

The synthesis of the phosphoramidites and H-phosphonates of imidazoyl derivatives, including histidine and imidazoleacetic acid, blocked at the imidazole and amino groups and connected by a hexane linker arm, are described. These synthons have been used to synthesize novel 3′-conjugated thymidine derivatives using 5′-(dimethoxytrityl)thymidine. These synthons are being used to prepare oligonucleotides with terminal imidazole groups on the automatic synthesizer.
