Abstract
The interaction of 3′-O-acetyldithymidilate (pdTpdl(Ac)), thymidine-3′,5′-diphosphate (pdTp; and thymidine-3′-phenylphosphate-5′-phosphate (pdTpPh) with 2,4,6-triisopropylbenzene sulphonyl chloride (TPS) and N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) in pyridine and dimethylformamide (DMP) was studied by pulsed NMR spectroscopy on phosphorus nuclei. Thymidine cyclic 3′,5′-pyrophosphate and dimeric pyrophosphate derivatives were shown to be the main products of the reaction of pdTp with TPS and DCC. The former shows spin AB-system with the unusually large spin-spin coupling constant about 28Hz upfield to the signals of the dimeric pyrophosphates in NMR spectrum. Analogous spin AB-systems with large spin-spin coupling constants up to 32 Hz) were observed in the spectra of the reaction mixtures of pdTpdT(Ac) with TPS or DCC and of pdTpPh with TPS. These spin AB-systems were ascribed to 3′,5′-cyclic pyrophosphate derivatives of pdTpdT(Ac) and pdTpPh.Keywords
