ABSTRACT
Herein, we report the synthesis of substituted morpholino nucleoside derivatives starting from ribonucleosides. The present protocol shows high functional group tolerance, uses mild reaction conditions, and gives moderate to good yields. This transformation is based on two sequential pathways: (i) the oxidation of the ribonucleosides to the corresponding dialdehyde using sodium periodate and (ii) the reductive amination of the in situ generated dialdehydes with the hydrochloride salts of various the alkylamines.

This article presents new data on the properties of the diastereomers of a mono-substituted phosphoryl guanidine trideoxyribonucleotides d(TpCp*A) [1,2]. The data include information on isolation, identification, treatment with snake venom phosphodiesterase and structural analysis by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy and restrained molecular dynamics analysis. The data can be used for preparation, analysis, application of phosphoryl guanidine oligonucleotide and for development of new nucleic acids derivatives. This data article is associated with the manuscript titled "Diastereomers of a mono-substituted phosphoryl guanidine trideoxyribonucleotide: isolation and properties" [1].
ABSTRACT
Recently, a new type of nucleic acid analogues with modified phosphate group, namely, phosphoryl guanidine oligonucleotides, has been described. In the present work, we assess the difference between diastereomers of a mono-substituted phosphoryl guanidine oligonucleotide and analyze their resistance to nuclease digestion. Individual diastereomers ('fast' and 'slow') of a trideoxynucleotide d (TpCp*A) were isolated by reverse-phase HPLC. Snake venom phosphodiesterase digestion showed that the native trideoxynucleotide was fully degraded after 30 min, whereas both 'fast' and 'slow' diastereomers of d (TpCp*A) were not completely digested even after 7 days. UV and CD spectra revealed similarities in the structure of the diastereomers. Structural analysis by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy also uncovered significant similarity in the properties of Rp and Sp diastereomers. Structural analysis of nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY) data and restrained molecular dynamics methods showed very flexible single-stranded oligonucleotide structures. Detailed computational analysis of restraint penalty energies via restrained molecular dynamics simulations with the 2D NMR interproton distance data allowed us to conclude that most likely, the 'fast' isomer is the Sp diastereomer, and the 'slow' isomer is the Rp diastereomer.

A novel synthetic strategy has been designed for preparation of achiral nonnucleosidic phosphoramidite monomers for automated solid-phase oligonucleotide synthesis. It is based on O-DMTr-protected 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-morpholine-2,3-dione as the key compound and a family of building blocks obtained by its ring-opening by primary aliphatic amines. A series of nonnucleosidic phosphoramidites containing various side-chain functionalities was synthesized, and corresponding oligodeoxyribonucleotides incorporating modified units in single or multiple positions along the chain were prepared.
