A concise synthetic strategy to 5-dihydroxyboryldexoyuridine (5boU) phosphoramidite has been developed. 5boU was introduced into short oligonucleotides in a site-specific manner, demonstrating compatibility of the boronic acid moiety with standard solid-phase DNA synthesis chemistry. Electrophilic 5boU DNAs inhibited thymine DNA glycosylase, a cancer-relevant DNA-modifying enzyme. We envisage diverse applications of 5boU in organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry, and chemical biology. ...[more]
