Abstract :
A novel C4-linked imidazole ribonucleoside phosphoramidite was designed and successfully synthesized starting from tribenzylribofuranosylimidazole. This phosphoramidite product enables incorporation of the imidazole moiety into an RNA sequence and hence allows study of its role in the general acid and base catalysis of ribozymes. Pivaloyloxymethyl (POM) was first introduced as an N-protecting group for the imidazole ribonucleoside that can be readily removed under mild basic condition.
