Abstract

The potential of N(Me)-alkoxyamine glycosylation as a DNA-templated ligation has been studied. On a hairpin stem-template model, a notable rate enhancement and an increased equilibrium yield are observed compared to the corresponding reaction without a DNA catalyst. The N-glycosidic connection is dynamic at pH 5, whereas it becomes irreversible at pH 7. The N(Me)-alkoxyamine glycosylation may hence be an attractive pH controlled reaction for the assembly of DNA-based dynamic products.
