Abstract

 

The detailed synthetic protocol for a 2?selenothymidine phosphoramidite and its use in preparing Se?derivatized oligonucleotides are described here. The Se?modified phosphoramidite synthesis was achieved by activating a 2?thiothymidine derivative, followed by introduction of selenium functionality. The coupling reaction yield of the 2?selenothymidine phosphoramidite during solid?phase synthesis is high (>95%), and the oligonucleotides containing the 2?selenothymidine derivatization are stable.
