A new intercalating nucleic acid monomer X was obtained in high yield starting from alkylation of 4-iodophenol with (S)-(+)-2-(2,2-dimethyl-1,3- dioxolan-4-yl)ethanol under Mitsunobu conditions followed by hydrolysis with 80% aqueous acetic acid to give a diol which was coupled under Sonogashira conditions with trimethylsilylacetylene (TMSA) to achieve the TMS protected (S)-4-(4-((trimethylsilyl)ethynyl)phenoxy)butane-1,2-diol. Tetrabutylammonium flouride was used to remove the silyl protecting group to obtain (S)-4-(4-ethynylphenoxy)butane-1,2-diol which was coupled under Sonogashira conditions with 2-(9-bromo-6H-indolo[2,3-b]quinoxalin-6-yl)-N,N- dimethylethanamine to achieve (S)-4-(4-((6-(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl)-6H-indolo[2, 3-b]quinoxalin-9-yl)ethynyl)phenoxy)butane-1,2-diol. This compound was tritylated with 4,4′-dimethoxytrityl chloride followed by treatment with 2-cyanoethyltetraisopropylphosphordiamidite in the presence of N,N′-diisopropyl ammonium tetrazolide to afford the corresponding phosphoramidite. This phosphoramidite was used to insert the monomer X into an oligonucleotide which was used for thermal denaturation studies of a corresponding parallel triplex.

The structure of the monomer (R)-1-O-[4-(1-pyrenylethynyl)phenylmethyl] glycerol (1) in twisted intercalating nucleic acids (TINA) was optimized for stabilizing interactions between the intercalator and surrounding nucleobases when used as a triplex forming oligonucleotide (TFO). Enhancement of π-π interactions with nucleobases of the TFO was achieved by increasing the aromatic surface using the (R)-1-O-[4-(1-pyrenylethynyl)naphthylmethyl]glycerol monomer (2). Bulge insertion of 2 in the middle of a Hoogsteen-type triplex increased the triplex thermal stability, ΔTm = +2.0 °C compared with 1 at pH 7.2. Syntheses and thermal denaturation studies of triplexes and duplexes are described for three novel TINA monomers. The influence of π-π interactions, link length and the positioning of the ether in the linker in the TINA derivatives are described. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2008.
