摘要：

Fluorinated DNA containing stable fluorine substituents in the "purine" base were synthesized for the first time. For this, the phosphoramidites of 7-fluoro-7-deaza-2'-deoxyadenosine and 7-fluoro-7-deaza-2'-deoxyguanosine were prepared and oligonucleotides were synthesized. The 7-fluoro substitution leads to increased duplex stability and more selective base pairing compared to the non-functionalized 7-deazapurine oligonucleotides. (19)F NMR spectra of fluorinated nucleosides, single stranded oligonucleotides and DNA duplex show only a single signal for one fluorine modification. The NMR sensitive (19)F spin or the positron emitting (18)F isotope make these compounds applicable for DNA detection or imaging in vitro and in vivo.
