Institute of Organic Chemistry, University of Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany.

In general, alpha-hydroxybenzylphosphonate modified 2'-deoxyadenosine-thymidine dimer building blocks 1, 2 are utilized for the incorporation into alpha-hydroxybenzylphosphonate pro-oligonucleotides. For a universal application of our pro-oligonucleotide concept on biologically relevant oligonucleotides a route for the synthesis of modified monomer building blocks 3 was developed and is presented herein.

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.
