Abstract

A new nucleoside derivative (2) with a butyl spacer between the sugar part and the 2-amino-6-vinylpurine motif has been synthesized. The triplex-forming oligodeoxynucleotide incorporating 2 has achieved strand- and cytidine-selective cross-linking reaction to the G-C target site mediated by triple helix formation. It has been suggested that 2 reacts with a flipping cytidine at the target site.
