Oligonucleotide cyclization: The thiol-maleimide reaction revisited

A novel method to synthesize cyclic oligonucleotides (5- to 26-mer) using the thiol-maleimide reaction is described. The target molecules were obtained after subsequent removal of thiol and maleimide protecting groups from 5′-maleimido-3′-thiol-derivatized linear precursors. Retro-Diels-Alder condit...

Sumario:A novel method to synthesize cyclic oligonucleotides (5- to 26-mer) using the thiol-maleimide reaction is described. The target molecules were obtained after subsequent removal of thiol and maleimide protecting groups from 5′-maleimido-3′-thiol-derivatized linear precursors. Retro-Diels-Alder conditions deprotecting the maleimide simultaneously promoted cyclization cleanly and in high yield.
