Abstract:
The present invention provides a manufacturing method that can easily manufacture a compound known as photoresponsive (photocoupling) nucleic acids at high yield in a shorter period of time than that of the conventional technology. The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a photoresponsive nucleic acid which includes a step of reacting a nucleic acid having groups represented by the Formula I, the Formula III, the Formula IV, or the Formula V and a compound represented by the Formula II, or reacting a nucleic acid having groups represented by the Formula VI, the Formula VIII, the Formula IX, or the Formula X and a compound represented by the Formula VII by heating them by microwaves in the presence of a metal catalyst, a basic substance, and a solvent.
Abstract:
Provided is a means for preventing the inactivation of a photoresponsive nucleic acid probe by suppressing the formation of a photocrosslink between a photoresponsive base having a photocrosslinkable vinyl structure and a photocrosslinkable thymine (T) or uracil (U) base, by substituting with an R group (R being —CN or —CO—R1, where R1 is a saturated or unsaturated straight-chain or branched cyclic or non-cyclic C1-12 hydrocarbon group) the 5 position of a pyrimidine ring of the thymine (T) or uracil (U) base which is photocrosslinkable with the photoresponsive base having a photocrosslinkable vinyl structure.
