β¦ Synopsis
The self-complementary, ethylene-linked U*[c a ]A ( * ) dinucleotide analogues 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18, and the sequence-isomeric A*[c a ]U ( * ) analogues 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, and 30 were obtained by Pd/Ccatalyzed hydrogenation of the corresponding, known ethynylene-linked dimers. The association of the ethylene-linked dimers was investigated by NMR and CD spectroscopy. The U*[c a ]A ( * ) dimers form linear duplexes and higher associates (K between 29 and 114m Γ1 ). The A*[c a ]U ( * ) dimers, while associating more strongly (K between 88 and 345m Γ1 ), lead mostly to linear duplexes and higher associates; they form only minor amounts of cyclic duplexes. The enthalpy -entropy compensation characterizing the association of the U*[c x ]A ( * ) and A*[c x ]U ( * ) dimers (x ΒΌ y, e, and a) is discussed.

## Abstract The selfβcomplementary tetrameric propargyl triols **8, 14, 18**, and **21** were synthesized to investigate the duplex formation of selfβcomplementary, ethynyleneβlinked UUAA, AAUU, UAUA, and AUAU analogues with integrated bases and backbone (ONIBs). The linear synthesis is based on re
The formation of cyclic duplexes (pairing) of known oxymethylene-linked self-complementary U\*[o]A ( \* ) dinucleosides contrasts with the absence of pairing of the ethylene-linked U\*[c a ]A ( \* ) analogues. The origin of this difference, and the expected association of U\*[x]A ( \* ) and A\*[x]U
