Supported synthesis of ferrocene modified oligonucleotides as new electroactive DNA probes

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2004 May 17;14(10):2439-41. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2004.03.016.

Abstract

The use of 1-[3-O-(2-cyanoethyl-N,N-diisopropylphosphor amidityl)propyl]ferrocene and 1-[3-O-dimethoxytrityl propyl]-1'-[3'-O-(2-cyanoethyl-N,N-diisopropylphosphoramidityl) propyl] ferrocene as reactive synthons for DNA/RNA synthesizer allows to generate ferrocene-labelled oligonucleotides with remarkable DNA detection properties.
