acyclic precursor 5 should result in a mixture of diastereomers.[4c, d] This expectation is consistent with NMR characterization of 2 in DNA, which also leads us to believe that the stereoisomers of 1 should exist in equilibrium with each other and small amounts of 5.[10] As there was no reason for us to expect that 1 will exist in DNA as a single isomer, we saw no reason to attempt to generate it from individual stereoisomers of a stable precursor. While devising our approach, we also took into account that chemical syntheses of biopolymers that contain 2 and 3 are able to utilize the alkaline deprotection conditions typically employed during oligonucleotide synthesis by unmasking the alkali-labile lesions in a final photochemical step.[7, 8] These considerations led us to design 6 as the phosphoramidite used during the automated synthesis to ultimately synthesize 1 in DNA (Scheme2). Notable features of 6 include the o-nitroveratryl moiety (ONV), which serves as the alkali-resistant phototrigger, and the silyloxy protecting group for the primary alcohol. The latter allows us to synthesize protected oligonucleotides without exposing the bisacetal (7) to acid.[11] The o-nitroveratryl group is a member of the class of o-nitrobenzyl photolabile protecting groups that are of general use in synthesis, and oligonucleotide synthesis in particular.[12] It was anticipated that oligonucleotides containing 7 would be purified, stored, and used to generate 1 as needed. Phosphoramidite 6 was prepared from the 3’, 5’-O-silyloxy deoxyribose acetal 8 (Scheme3). Cleavage of the methyl acetal in the presence of 1, 3-propane dithiol provided the dithiane 9 with a C4-hydroxy group, which was then oxidized.[13] Subsequent oxidative cleavage of the dithiane ketone, 10, in the presence of 3, 4-dimethoxy-6-nitrobenzyl alcohol provided 11 as a mixture of four stereoisomers.[14] Although separation of the isomers was not practical at this step, the corresponding 1H NMR spectrum indicated that two were formed in significantly greater amounts. Analytical samples of the individual diastereomers were obtained upon desilylation (12). 1H NMR spectroscopy was used to determine that 1R, 4S-12 and 1S, 4R-12 accounted for> 80% of the mixture of cyclized compounds. In practice, the major diastereomers were separated upon preparation of the cyclododecyloxy bis-trimethylsilyloxy silyl ethers (1R, 4S-1S, 4R-
