Abstract
Programmed DNA structures and assemblies are readily accessible, but site-specific functionalization is critical to realize applications in various fields such as nanoelectronics, nanomaterials and biomedicine. Besides pre- and post-DNA synthesis conjugation strategies, on-solid support reactions offer advantages in certain circumstances. We describe on-solid support internucleotide coupling reactions, often considered undesirable, and a workaround strategy to overcome them. Palladium coupling reactions enabled on-solid support intra- and interstrand coupling between single-stranded DNAs (ss-DNAs). Dilution with a capping agent suppressed interstrand coupling, maximizing intrastrand coupling. Alternatively, interstrand coupling actually proved advantageous to provide dimeric organic/DNA conjugates that could be conveniently separated from higher oligomers, and was more favorable with longer terphenyl coupling partners.

Abstract
Post-synthetic conversion of the trifluoromethyl group to a heteroaryl group at the C5 position of the pyrimidine base in DNA oligonucleotides was achieved. Specifically, the oligonucleotides containing 5-trifluoromethylpyrimidine bases were treated with o-phenylenediamines and o-aminothiophenols as nucleophiles to afford the corresponding 5-(benzimidazol-2-yl)- and 5-(benzothiazol-2-yl)-pyrimidine-modified bases. Furthermore, evaluation of the fluorescence properties of the obtained oligonucleotides revealed that among them the oligonucleotide containing 5-(5-methylbenzimidazol-2-yl)cytosine exhibited the highest fluorescence intensity. These results indicated that post-synthetic trifluoromethyl conversion, which is practical and operationally simple, is a powerful tool for exploring functional oligonucleotides.

Abstract
Recently, it was reported that the alkynyl modification of nucleobases mitigates the toxicity of antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) while maintaining the efficacy. However, the general effect of alkynyl modifications on the duplex-forming ability of oligonucleotides (ONs) is unclear. In this study, post-synthetic nucleobase modification by Sonogashira coupling in aqueous medium was carried out to efficiently evaluate the physiological properties of various ONs with alkynyl-modified nucleobases. Although several undesired reactions, including nucleobase cyclization, were observed, various types of alkynyl-modified ONs were successfully obtained via Sonogashira coupling of ONs containing iodinated nucleobases. Evaluation of the stability of the duplex formed by the synthesized alkynyl-modified ONs showed that the alkynyl modification of pyrimidine was less tolerated than that of purine, although both the modifications occurred in the major groove of the duplex. These results can be attributed to the bond angle of the alkyne on the pyrimidine and the close proximity of the alkynyl substituents to the phosphodiester backbone. The synthetic method developed in this study may contribute to the screening of the optimal chemical modification of ASO because various alkynyl-modified ONs that are effective in reducing the toxicity of ASO can be easily synthesized by this method.

Abstract
Synthetic unnatural base pairs have been proven to be attractive tools for the development of DNA-based biotechnology. Our group has very recently reported on alkynylated purine-pyridazine pairs, which exhibit selective and stable base-pairing via hydrogen bond formation between pseudo-nucleobases in the major groove of duplex DNA. In this study, we attempted to develop an on-column synthesis methodology of oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) containing alkynylated purine derivatives to systematically explore the relationship between the structure and the corresponding base-pairing ability. Through Sonogashira coupling of the ethynyl pseudo-nucleobases and CPG-bound ODNs containing 6-iodopurine, we have demonstrated the synthesis of the ODNs containing three NPu derivatives (NPu1, NPu2, NPu3) as well as three OPu derivatives (OPu1, OPu2, OPu3). The base-pairing properties of each alkynylated purine derivative revealed that the structures of pseudo-nucleobases influence the base pair stability and selectivity. Notably, we found that OPu1 bearing 2-pyrimidinone exhibits higher stability to the complementary NPz than the original OPu, thereby demonstrating the potential of the on-column strategy for convenient screening of the alkynylated purine derivatives with superior pairing ability.

Abstract
Oligonucleotides containing modified nucleobases have applications in various technologies. In general, to synthesize oligonucleotides with different nucleobase structures, each modified phosphoramidite monomer needs to be prepared over multiple steps and then introduced onto the oligonucleotides, which is time-consuming and inefficient. Post-synthetic modification is a powerful strategy for preparing many types of modified oligonucleotides, especially nucleobase-modified ones. Depending on the stage of modification, post-synthetic modification can be divided into two stages: "solid-phase modification," wherein an oligonucleotide attaches to the resin, and "solution-phase modification," wherein an oligonucleotide detaches itself from the resin. In this review, we focus on post-synthetic modification in solution for the synthesis of nucleobase-modified oligonucleotides, except the modifications to linkers for conjugation. Moreover, the reactions are summarized for each modified position of the nucleobases.

Abstract
Natural modified bases in RNA were found to be indispensable for basic biological processes. In addition, artificial RNA modifications have been a versatile toolbox for the study of RNA interference, structure, and dynamics. Here, we present a chemical method for the facile synthesis of RNA containing C6-modified purine. 6-Iodopurine, as a postsynthetic building block with high reactivity, was used for metal-free construction of C-N, C-O, and C-S bonds under mild conditions and C-C bond formation by Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling. Our strategy provides a convenient approach for the synthesis of various RNA modifications, especially for oligonucleotides containing specific structures.

Abstract
We have developed an unprecedented transition metal-free approach for the direct fluorescence turn-on labeling of natural oligonucleotides through selective N6-arylation of adenosine moieties. This method allows the simple and direct fluorescence labeling of natural unmodified DNA and RNA, but is dependent on the secondary structure, favoring single-stranded structures.

Abstract
Exposure of 10π-electron benzazaphosphole 1 to HCl, followed by nucleophilic substitution with the Grignard reagent BrMgCCPh afforded alkynyl functionalized 3 featuring an exocyclic -C[triple bond, length as m-dash]C-Ph group with an elongated P-C bond (1.7932(19) Å). Stoichiometric experiments revealed that treatment of trans-Pd(PEt3)2(Ar)(i) (Ar = p-Me (C) or p-F (D)) with 3 generated trans-Pd(PEt3)2(Ar)(CCPh) (Ar = p-Me (E) or p-F (F)), 5, which is the result of ligand exchange between P-I byproduct 4 and C/D, and the reductively eliminated product (Ar-C[triple bond, length as m-dash]C-Ph). Cyclic voltammetry studies showed and independent investigations confirmed 4 is also susceptible to redox processes including bimetallic oxidative addition to Pd(0) to give Pd(i) dimer 6-Pd2-(P(t-Bu)3)2 and reduction to diphosphine 7. During catalysis, we hypothesized that this unwanted reactivity could be circumvented by employing a source of fluoride as an additive. This was demonstrated by conducting a Sonogashira-type reaction between 1-iodotoluene and 3 in the presence of 10 mol% Na2PdCl4, 20 mol% P(t-Bu)Cy2, and 5 equiv. of tetramethylammonium fluoride (TMAF), resulting in turnover and the isolation of Ph-C[triple bond, length as m-dash]C-(o-Tol) as the major product.

Abstract
The chemical synthesis of modified oligoribonucleotides represents a powerful approach to study the structure, stability, and biological activity of RNAs. Selected RNA modifications have been proven to enhance the drug-like properties of RNA oligomers providing the oligonucleotide-based therapeutic agents in the antisense and siRNA technologies. The important sites of RNA modification/functionalization are the nucleobase residues. Standard phosphoramidite RNA chemistry allows the site-specific incorporation of a large number of functional groups to the nucleobase structure if the building blocks are synthetically obtainable and stable under the conditions of oligonucleotide chemistry and work-up. Otherwise, the chemically modified RNAs are produced by post-synthetic oligoribonucleotide functionalization. This review highlights the post-synthetic RNA modification approach as a convenient and valuable method to introduce a wide variety of nucleobase modifications, including recently discovered native hypermodified functional groups, fluorescent dyes, photoreactive groups, disulfide crosslinks, and nitroxide spin labels.

Abstract
This unit describes postsynthetic modification of oligonucleotides (ONs) containing 2'-deoxy-5-trifluoromethyluridine and 2'-deoxy-5-trifluoromethylcytidine. In ONs, the trifluoromethyl group at the C5 position of pyrimidine bases is converted into a variety of carboxylic acid equivalents using alkaline and amine solutions. In addition, treating fully protected and controlled pore glass (CPG)-attached ONs with methylamine and sodium hydroxide aqueous solution results in deprotection of all protecting groups (except the 4,4'-dimethoxytrityl group), cleavage from CPG, and simultaneous conversion of the trifluoromethyl group to afford the corresponding ONs containing 5-substituted pyrimidine bases. © 2019 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Abstract
The on-column functionalization of oligodeoxynucleotides via base-free Suzuki cross-coupling reactions is reported herein. These cross-coupling reactions were carried out with various boronic acids and either full-length modified oligonucleotides containing one or more 2'-deoxy-5-iodouridine (5IdU) monomer(s) or on oligonucleotide fragments immediately after incorporation of 5IdU. Five different functionalities were coupled to oligonucleotides containing one or three attachment points.

Abstract
Pd-catalyzed C-C bond formation, an important vertebra in the spine of synthetic chemistry, is emerging as a valuable chemoselective transformation for post-synthetic functionalization of biomacromolecules. While methods are available for labeling protein and DNA, development of an analogous procedure to label RNA by cross-coupling reactions remains a major challenge. Herein, we describe a new Pd-mediated RNA oligonucleotide (ON) labeling method that involves post-transcriptional functionalization of iodouridine-labeled RNA transcripts by using Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction. 5-Iodouridine triphosphate (IUTP) is efficiently incorporated into RNA ONs at one or more sites by T7 RNA polymerase. Further, using a catalytic system made of Pd(OAc)2 and 2-aminopyrimidine-4,6-diol (ADHP) or dimethylamino-substituted ADHP (DMADHP), we established a modular method to functionalize iodouridine-labeled RNA ONs in the presence of various boronic acid and ester substrates under very mild conditions (37°C and pH 8.5). This method is highly chemoselective, and offers direct access to RNA ONs labeled with commonly used fluorescent and affinity tags and new fluorogenic environment-sensitive nucleoside probes in a ligand-controlled stereoselective fashion. Taken together, this simple approach of generating functional RNA ON probes by Suzuki-Miyaura coupling will be a very important addition to the resources and tools available for analyzing RNA motifs.

Abstract
Understanding the diversity of dynamic structures and functions of DNA and RNA in biology requires tools that can selectively and intimately probe these biomolecules. Synthetic fluorescent nucleobases that can be incorporated into nucleic acids alongside their natural counterparts have emerged as a powerful class of molecular reporters of location and environment. They are enabling new basic insights into DNA and RNA, and are facilitating a broad range of new technologies with chemical, biological and biomedical applications. In this Review, we will present a brief history of the development of fluorescent nucleobases and explore their utility as tools for addressing questions in biophysics, biochemistry and biology of nucleic acids. We provide chemical insights into the two main classes of these compounds: canonical and non-canonical nucleobases. A point-by-point discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of both types of fluorescent nucleobases is made, along with a perspective into the future challenges and outlook for this burgeoning field.

Abstract
We developed a novel technique for the efficient conjugation of oligonucleotides with various alkyl azides such as fluorescent dyes, biotin, cholesterol, N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc), etc. using copper-catalysed alkyne-azide cycloaddition on the solid phase and CuI·P(OEt)3 as a catalyst. Conjugation is carried out in an oligonucleotide synthesizer in fully automated mode and is coupled to oligonucleotide synthesis and on-column deprotection. We also suggest a set of reagents for the construction of diverse conjugates. The sequential double-click procedure using a pentaerythritol-derived tetraazide followed by the addition of a GalNAc or Tris-GalNAc alkyne gives oligonucleotide-GalNAc dendrimer conjugates in good yields with minimal excess of sophisticated alkyne reagents. The approach is suitable for high-throughput synthesis of oligonucleotide conjugates ranging from fluorescent DNA probes to various multi-GalNAc derivatives of 2'-modified siRNA.

Abstract
This study investigated the synthesis and substrate properties of Cy5-labeled dUTP derivatives with different substituents, linkers between the dye unit and pyrimidine heterocycle and fluorophore charges. Fluorescently labeled nucleoside triphosphates were studied as substrates using multiplex PCR with Taq and Vent (exo-) DNA polymerases, the typical representatives of the A and B polymerase families. The efficiency of nucleotide incorporation during PCR was assessed with a multi-parameter hybridization analysis using a diagnostic DNA microarray. The hybridization analysis indirectly estimates the incorporation efficiency of dye-labeled nucleotides in multiplex PCR. Our results demonstrated higher efficiencies of substrates with electrically neutral dyes than electropositive and electronegative Cy5 residues.

Abstract
The development of modular and efficient methods to functionalize RNA with biophysical probes is very important in advancing the understanding of the structural and functional relevance of RNA in various cellular events. Herein, we demonstrate a two-step bioorthogonal chemical functionalization approach for the conjugation of multiple probes onto RNA transcripts using a 5-vinyl-modified uridine nucleotide analog (VUTP). VUTP, containing a structurally noninvasive and versatile chemoselective handle, was efficiently incorporated into RNA transcripts by in vitro transcription reactions. Furthermore, we show for the first time the use of a palladium-mediated oxidative Heck reaction in functionalizing RNA with fluorogenic probes by reacting vinyl-labeled RNA transcripts with appropriate boronic acid substrates. The vinyl label also permitted the post-transcriptional functionalization of RNA by a reagent-free inverse electron demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) reaction in the presence of tetrazine substrates. Collectively, our results demonstrate that the incorporation of VUTP provides newer possibilities for the modular functionalization of RNA with variety of reporters.

Abstract
Dodecamers of RNA [CUACGGAAUCAU] were functionalized with C2'-O-2-thiophenylmethyl groups to obtain oligonucleotides 10-14 and 17. The modified nucleotides were incorporated into RNA strands via solid-phase synthesis. The biophysical properties of these ONs were used to quantify the effects of this modification on RNA:RNA and RNA:DNA duplexes. A combination of UV-vis and circular dichroism were used to determine thermal stabilities of all strands, which hybridized into A-form geometries. Destabilization of the double stranded RNA was measured as a function of number of consecutive modifications, reflected in decreased thermal denaturation values (ΔTm, ca. 2.5-11.5 °C). Van't Hoff plots on a duplex containing one modification (10:15) displayed a ca. ΔΔG° of +4 kcal/mol with respect to its canonical analogue. Interestingly, hybridization of two modified strands (13:17, containing a total of eight modifications) resulted in increased stability and a distinct secondary structure, reflected in its CD spectrum. Molecular modeling based on DFT calculations shed light on the nature of this stability, with induced changes in the torsional angle δ (C5'-C4'-C3'-O3) and phosphate-phosphate distances that are in agreement with a compacted structure. The described synthetic methodology and structural information will be useful in the design of thermodynamically stable structures containing chemically reactive modifications.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribos)ylation (PARylation) is a major posttranslational modification and signaling event in most eukaryotes. Fundamental processes like DNA repair and transcription are coordinated by this transient polymer and its binding to proteins. ADP-ribosyltransferases (ARTs) build complex ADP-ribose chains from NAD(+) onto various acceptor proteins. Molecular studies of PARylation thus remain challenging. Herein, we present the development of bioorthogonally functionalized NAD(+) analogues for the imaging of PARylation in vitro and in cells. Our results show that 2-modified NAD(+) analogues perform remarkably well and can be applied to the in-cell visualization of PARylation simultaneously in two colors. This tool gives insight into the substrate scope of ARTs and will help to further elucidate the biological role of PARylation by offering fast optical, multichannel read-outs.

Abstract
Transition metal-catalyzed modifications of the activated heterocyclic bases of nucleosides as well as DNA or RNA fragments employing traditional cross-coupling methods have been well-established in nucleic acid chemistry. This review covers advances in the area of cross-coupling reactions in which nucleosides are functionalized via direct activation of the C8-H bond in purine and the C5-H or C6-H bond in uracil bases. The review focuses on Pd/Cu-catalyzed couplings between unactivated nucleoside bases with aryl halides. It also discusses cross-dehydrogenative arylations and alkenylations as well as other reactions used for modification of nucleoside bases that avoid the use of organometallic precursors and involve direct C-H bond activation in at least one substrate. The scope and efficiency of these coupling reactions along with some mechanistic considerations are discussed.

Abstract
The introduction of modifications into oligonucleotides is important for a large number of applications in the nucleic acids field. However, the method of solid-phase DNA synthesis presents significant challenges for incorporating many useful modifications that are unstable to the conditions for preparing synthetic DNA. Here we report that boranephosphonate diesters undergo facile nucleophilic substitution in a stereospecific manner upon activation by iodine. We have subsequently used this reactivity to post-synthetically introduce modifications including azides and fluorophores into DNA by first synthesizing boranephosphonate-linked 2'-deoxyoligonucleotides and then treating these oligomers with iodine and various nucleophiles. In addition, we show that this reaction is an attractive method for preparing stereodefined phosphorus-modified oligonucleotides. We have also examined the mechanism of this reaction and show that it proceeds via an iodophosphate intermediate. Beyond nucleic acids synthesis, due to the ubiquity of phosphate derivatives in natural compounds and therapeutics, this stereospecific reaction has many potential applications in organophosphorus chemistry.

Abstract
An optimized catalyst system of [Pd2 (dba)3 ] and AsPh3 efficiently catalyzes the Stille reaction between a diverse set of functionalized stannanes and halogenated mono-, di- and oligonucleotides. The methodology allows for the facile conjugation of short and long nucleic acid molecules with moieties that are not compatible with conventional chemical or enzymatic synthesis, among them acid-, base-, or fluoride-labile protecting groups, fluorogenic and synthetically challenging moieties with good to near-quantitative yields. Notably, even azides can be directly introduced into oligonucleotides and (deoxy)nucleoside triphosphates, thereby giving direct access to "clickable" nucleic acids.

Abstract

The
1-N-benzyl-5-iodo(or bromo)uracil undergoes
Pd-catalyzed [Pd2(dba)3] direct arylation with
benzene and other simple arenes in the presence of TBAF in DMF without
the necessity of adding any ligands or additives to give 5-arylated
uracil analogues. The TBAF-promoted coupling also occurs efficiently
with electron rich heteroarenes at 100 °C (1 h) even with only
small excess of heteroarenes. The protocol avoids usage of the arylboronic
acid or stannane precursors for the synthesis of 5-(2-furyl, or 2-thienyl,
or 2-pyrrolyl)uracil nucleosides, which are used as important RNA
and DNA fluorescent probes. The fact that 1-N-benzyl-3-N-methyl-5-iodouracil did not undergo the TBAF-promoted
couplings with arenes or heteroarenes suggests that the C4-alkoxide
(enol form of uracil) facilitates coupling by participation in the
intramolecular processes of hydrogen abstraction from arenes. TBAF-promoted
arylation was extended into the other enolizable heterocyclic systems
such as 3-bromo-2-pyridone. The π-excessive heteroarenes also
coupled with 5-halouracils in the presence of Pd(OAc)2/Cs2CO3/PivOH combination in DMF (100 °C, 2 h)
to yield 5-arylated uracils.

Abstract
The methyl transfer reaction from activated monomethyltin, via a modified Stille coupling reaction, was studied under “ligandless” conditions on fully deprotected 5'-modified nucleosides and one dinucleotide. The reaction was optimized to proceed in a few minutes and quantitative yield, even under dilute conditions, thus affording a rapid and efficient new method for oligonucleotide labelling with carbon-11.

Abstract
Nucleoside triphosphates are moldable entities that can easily be functionalized at various locations. The enzymatic polymerization of these modified triphosphate analogues represents a versatile platform for the facile and mild generation of (highly) functionalized nucleic acids. Numerous modified triphosphates have been utilized in a broad palette of applications spanning from DNA-tagging and -labeling to the generation of catalytic nucleic acids. This review will focus on the recent progress made in the synthesis of modified nucleoside triphosphates as well as on the understanding of the mechanisms underlying their polymerase acceptance. In addition, the usefulness of chemically altered dNTPs in SELEX and related methods of in vitro selection will be highlighted, with a particular emphasis on the generation of modified DNA enzymes (DNAzymes) and DNA-based aptamers.

Abstract
To expand the chemical array available for DNA sequences in the context of in vitro selection, I present herein the synthesis of five nucleoside triphosphate analogues containing side chains capable of organocatalysis. The synthesis involved the coupling of L-proline-containing residues (dU(tP)TP and dU(cP)TP), a dipeptide (dU(FP)TP), a urea derivative (dU(Bpu)TP), and a sulfamide residue (dU(Bs)TP) to a suitably protected common intermediate, followed by triphosphorylation. These modified dNTPs were shown to be excellent substrates for the Vent (exo(-)) and Pwo DNA polymerases, as well as the Klenow fragment of E. coli DNA polymerase I, although they were only acceptable substrates for the 9°N(m) polymerase. All of the modified dNTPs, with the exception of dU(Bpu)TP, were readily incorporated into DNA by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Modified oligonucleotides efficiently served as templates for PCR for the regeneration of unmodified DNA. Thermal denaturation experiments showed that these modifications are tolerated in the major groove. Overall, these heavily modified dNTPs are excellent candidates for SELEX.
