  • Publication number: 20150211008
    Abstract: This invention relates to the post-synthetic chemical modification of RNA at the 2?-position on the ribose ring via a copper catalyzed Huisgen cycloaddition (“click” chemistry: Kolb, Sharpless Drug Discovery Today 2003, 8, 1128). The invention 1) avoids complex, tedious multi-step syntheses of each desired modified ribonucleoside; 2) allows diverse chemical modifications using high-fidelity chemistry that is completely orthogonal to commonly used alkylamino, carboxylate and disulfide linker reactivities; 3) allows introduction of functional groups that are incompatible with modern automated solid-phase synthesis of RNA and subsequent cleavage-deprotection steps; 4) allows introduction of functional groups useful as targeting ligands; and 5) enables high-throughput structure-activity relationship studies on chemically modified RNA in 96-well format.

  • Patent number: 7154005
    Abstract: This invention describes the reaction of an alpha fluoroalkyl ketone with a bis(trialkylsilyl)amide to give a stable N-trialkylsilyl imine. Treatment of the N-trialkylsilyl imine with an alcohol leads to solvolysis of the trialkylsilyl group and yields a stable mixture of an aminal and an imine in high yield. Catalytic reduction of this mixture, or of the individual components, in the presence of a chiral catalyst leads to a fluoroalkyl amine with high enantioselectivity and high yield.
