Efficient assessment of modified nucleoside stability under conditions of automated oligonucleotide synthesis: Characterization of the oxidation and oxidative desulfurization of 2-thiouridine

In order to efficiently assess the chemical stability of modified nucleosides to the reagents and conditions of automated oligonucleotide synthesis, we designed, developed and tested a scheme in which the modified nucleoside, directly attached to a solid support, is exposed to the cyclic chemistry of the instrument. Stability of 2-thiouridine against different oxidizers was investigated. Tertbutyl hydroperoxide (1 M) in anhydrous acetonitrile was a more effective oxidizer for the incorporation of 2-thiouridine into oligonucleotide chains than the same oxidizer in methylene chloride. Carbon tetrachloride/water in the presence of a basic catalyst was superior in maintaining the thiocarbonyl function, but its utility for RNA synthesis has yet to be fully tested, whereas 2-phenylsulfonyloxaziridine was a very efficient reagent for oxidative desulfurization of 2-thiouridine.

Reactions of Alkoxyuridines with Ammonia (l)

2-Alkoxy- and 4-alkoxyuridines were converted into isocytidine and cytidine by reaction with ammonia at room temperature.Reaction with hydrogen sulfide produced 2-thio- and 4-thiouridine but the reaction was incomplete.The reaction may be helpful in the identification of alkylated pyrimidine nucleosides in DNA.
