C-Phenyl, C-p-aminophenyl and C-naphthyl as well as pyridine-4(2)-one ribofuranosides were synthesized and site-specifically incorporated into a hammerhead ribozyme using solid phase synthesis.The modified oligonucleotides were used to probe the structural requirements at position 7 for catalytic activity.A pyridine-4-one-base substitution at a single position (N7) within the ribozyme catalytic core increased catalytic rate 10-fold.C-Phenyl, N3-methyluracyl, and p-aminophenyl base substitution at N7 reproducibly increased the catalytic rate twofold.

p-AnilineC-ribofuranoside 11 was prepared in 5 steps from 1-bromo-4-lithiobenzene (1) and D-ribono-1,4 lactone 2. A three step derivatization of 11 yielded 3'-O-phosphoramidite 14 which was incorporated into ribozymes using the solid phase phosphoramidite procedure.
