A method for forming between adjacent sugar moieties a covalent linkage having structure CH═N--R A --CH 2 , CH 2 --R A --N═CH, or R A --N═CH--CH 2 where R A is O or NR 1 , comprising the steps of: (a) providing synthons having structure: ##STR4## (b) contacting said synthons for a time and under reaction conditions effective to form said covalent linkage; wherein: Z 1 and Y 2 are selected such that (i) Z 1 is C(O)H and Y 2 is CH 2 R A NH 2 ; or (ii) Z 1 is CH 2 R A NH 2 and Y 2 is C(O)H; or (iii) Z 1 is R A NH 2 and Y 2 is H(O)CCH 2 ; R 1 is H or alkyl having 1 to about 10 carbon atoms; B X1 and B X2 are, independently, nucleosidic bases; Q 1 and Q 2 are O; and X 1 and X 2 are, independently, H; OH; F; or O-alkyl having 1 to about 10 carbon atoms.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 171 words
A method for forming between adjacent sugar moieties a covalent linkage having structure CH═N--R A --CH 2 , CH 2 --R A --N═CH, or R A --N═CH--CH 2 where R A is O or NR 1 , comprising the steps of: (a) providing synthons having structure: ##STR4## (b) contacting said synthons for a time and under reaction conditions effective to form said covalent linkage; wherein: Z 1 and Y 2 are selected such that (i) Z 1 is C(O)H and Y 2 is CH 2 R A NH 2 ; or (ii) Z 1 is CH 2 R A NH 2 and Y 2 is C(O)H; or (iii) Z 1 is R A NH 2 and Y 2 is H(O)CCH 2 ; R 1 is H or alkyl having 1 to about 10 carbon atoms; B X1 and B X2 are, independently, nucleosidic bases; Q 1 and Q 2 are O; and X 1 and X 2 are, independently, H; OH; F; or O-alkyl having 1 to about 10 carbon atoms.
