A facile synthesis of oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) containing 2'-deoxy-6-thioinosine (dI6S) based on the convertible nucleoside O6-phenyl-2'-deoxyinosine is presented. After standard solid-phase DNA synthesis and removal of the cyanoethyl protecting groups with DBU treatment with aqueous sodium hydrogen sulfide introduces the sulfur functionality, deprotects the other nucleobases and cleaves the ODN from the solid support in a one-pot reaction. In addition, the extinction coefficient of 2'-deoxy-6-thioinosine is determined by enzymatic fragmentation of the resulting ODN in the presence of adenosine deaminase.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007202	Indicators and Reagents	Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.
