An efficient method of ureido linkage formation during epimerization-free one-pot synthesis of protected hypermodified N6-threonylcarbamoyladenosine (t6A) and its 2-SMe analog (ms2t6A) was developed. The method is based on a Tf2O-mediated direct conversion of the N-Boc-protecting group of N-Boc-threonine into the isocyanate derivative, followed by reaction with the N6exo-amine function of the sugar protected nucleoside (yield 86-94%). Starting from 2′,3′,5′-tri-O-acetyl protected adenosine or 2-methylthioadenosine, the corresponding 3′-O-phosphoramidite monomers were obtained in 48% and 42% overall yield (5 step synthesis). In an analogous synthesis, using the 2′-O-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-3′,5′-O-(di-tert-butylsilylene) protection system at the adenosine ribose moiety, the t6A-phosphoramidite monomer was obtained in a less laborious manner and in a remarkably better yield of 74%.

The synthesis of the protected form of 2-methylthio-N6-threonylcarbamoyl adenosine (ms2t6A) was developed starting from adenosine or guanosine by using the optimized carbamate method and, for the first time, an isocyanate route. The hypermodified nucleoside was subsequently transformed into the protected ms2t6A-phosphoramidite monomer and used in a large-scale synthesis of the precursor 17nt ms2t6A-oligonucleotide (the anticodon stem and loop fragment of tRNALys from T. brucei). Finally, stereochemically secure ms2t6A→ms2ct6A cyclization at the oligonucleotide level efficiently afforded a tRNA fragment bearing the ms2ct6A unit. The applied post-synthetic approach provides two sequentially homologous ms2t6A- and ms2ct6A-oligonucleotides that are suitable for further comparative structure–activity relationship studies.
