Abstract:
[reaction: see text] Metal ion rescue experiments provide a powerful approach to establish the presence and role of divalent metal ions in the biological function of RNA. The utility of this approach depends on the availability of suitable nucleoside analogues. To expand the range of this experimental strategy, we describe the first synthesis of 2',3'-dideoxy-2'-amino-3'-thiouridine (12) in 19.5% overall yield starting from 2,2'-anhydrouridine (1).
