An efficient method for the thioglycoconjugation of iodinated oligonucleotides by Buchwald-Hartwig-Migita cross-coupling under mild conditions is reported. The method enables divergent synthesis of many different functionalized thioglycosylated ODNs in good yields, without affecting the integrity of the other A, C, and G nucleobases.
Keywords: DNA-glycoconjugates; Pd catalysis; oligonucleotides; thioglycoconjugation; thiosaccharide.
