Abstract
Pseudonucleosides and pseudonucleotides are useful in the synthesis of oligomers which contain these components as a means to derivatize the resulting oligonucleotide to useful substituents such as chelators, intercalators, or lipophilic compounds. In general, these pseudonucleotide components are of the formula: ##STR1## wherein each Y is independently O or S; each X is independently H, PO.sub.3.sup.-2, an activated nucleotide synthesis coupling moiety, a protecting group, a nucleoside, a nucleotide or a nucleotide sequence, or comprises a solid support; F is a functional group capable of linking an additional moiety or said group already reacted to effect the binding of said additional moiety; .quadrature. is an organic backbone which does not contain additional F or Y-X substituents and which is either achiral even when the Y-X substituents are different, or is a single enantiomer of a chiral compound; with the proviso that at least one X is a nucleoside, nucleotide, nucleotide sequence, an activated nucleotide synthesis coupling moiety, or comprises a solid support, or F represents said functional group already reacted with an additional group. Oligonucleotides having the pseud…
