Monomers for oligonucleotide synthesis with linkers carrying reactive residues: II. Synthesis of phosphoamidites based of uridine and cytosine and containing a linker with methoxyoxalamide groups in position 2'

A convenient preparative synthesis of 2'-amino-2'-deoxyuridine was developed. Starting from 2'-amino-2'-deoxyuridine and 2'-amino-2'-deoxycytidine, monomers for the phosphoamidite oligonucleotide synthesis were obtained that carry a linker with methoxyoxalamide groups in position 2'.
