Abstract

AbstractThe synthesis of various N‐methylated nucleosides (m6A, m3C, m4C, m3U) is described. These minor nucleosides can be obtained by simple methylation with diazomethane of [2‐(4‐nitrophenyl)ethoxy]carbonyl(npeoc)‐protected nucleosides. These methylated compounds are easily further derivatized to fit into the scheme of the [2‐(dansyl)ethoxy]carbonyl (dnseoc) approach for RNA synthesis (dansyl=[5‐(dimethylamino)naphthalen‐1‐yl]sulfonyl). Various oligoribonucleotides containing N6‐methyladenosine were synthesized, underlining the usefulness of the dnseoc approach, especially for the synthesis of natural tRNA‐derived oligoribonucleotide sequences.
