Popis: A general approach to the synthesis of nucleoside conjugates con- taining carborane and metallocarbor- ane complexes, based on Huisgen 1,3- dipolar cycloaddition ("chemical liga- tion"), is described. Boron-cluster- donors bearing terminal azide or eth- ynyl groups were prepared in the ring- opening reaction of dioxane-boron- cluster adducts and an azide anion or suitable alkynol-derived alcoholate nu- cleophile. Analogous derivatives bear- ing terminal sulfhydryl groups were also prepared. Nucleosides with various spacers containing terminal azide or ethynyl groups, located within nucleo- bases or sugar residues, were used as boron-cluster acceptors. The proposed methodology provides a convenient way to synthesize libraries of boron- cluster-modified nucleosides for various applications.
