Ketone-DNA: a versatile postsynthetic DNA decoration platform

Org Lett. 2001 Dec 13;3(25):3983-6. doi: 10.1021/ol016626r.

Abstract

[reaction: see text] A general strategy for the functional diversification of DNA oligonucleotides under physiological conditions was developed. We describe the synthesis of DNA molecules bearing ketone ports (ketone-DNA) and the efficient postsynthetic decoration of ketone-DNA with structurally diverse aminooxy compounds.
