Abstract
Two pyrimidine nucleosides have been synthesized containing extended hydrogen bonding functionality. In one case the side chain is based upon semicarbazide and in the second monoacetylated carbohydrazide was employed. DNA sequences could be prepared using both analogue nucleosides in a reverse coupling protocol, and provided that the normal capping step was eliminated and that the iodine-based oxidizing solution was replaced with one based upon 10-camphorsulfonyl oxaziridine. Both derivatives exhibited moderate effects in targeting selectively C-G base pairs embedded within a polypurine target sequence.
