Conformation of the sugar, backbone and glycosidic bond of synthetic 2'-O-phosphorylated diuridylate U(2'-p)pU 1 was studied by NMR and CD. It was found that the 5' upstream ribose has predominantly an S-type of conformation. Tridecadeoxyuridylates incorporating a 2'-O-phosphorylated uridine U(2'-p)

✦ Synopsis
In order to evaluate the effect of a new 2%-carbohydrate modification on the hybridization properties of oligonucleotides, uridine 2%-O-carbamates were synthesized and incorporated into DNA strands. The key intermediate in the synthesis, a mixed succinimide carbonate 2, was treated with various amines to give 2%-O-carbamates 3. Thermal melting studies of modified oligonucleotides revealed that the presence of the 2%-O-carbamate modification significantly destabilized DNA/RNA duplexes. A molecular-modeling study indicated that unfavorable steric interactions between the hydrogen of the NH group from the carbamate substituent and the anomeric hydrogen of the sugar residue on the same strand of the duplex may be the contributing factor causing destabilization.

## Abstract Cyclohexyl nucleosides with an adenine and uracil base have been synthesized from 2‐azidocyclohexane‐1,5‐diol. The obtained racemic nucleosides were resolved using (__R__)‐__O__‐methylmandelic acid. Short oligonucleotides were synthesized using phorphoramidite chemistry. However, these
The preparation of synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides containing O4-benzylthymidine (Tbn) is described. The use of standard and t-butylphenoxyacetyl amino protecting groups is compared. The thermal stabilities of duplexes containing Tbn paired with adenine and guanine have been measured.
