概要 The 5′-phosphorimidazolide of uridine reacts on Na+-montmorillonite 22A in aqueous solution to give oligomers as long as 7 mers. The maximum chain length increases to 9 mers and the overall oligomer yield increases when 9:1 ImpU, A5′ ppA mixtures react under the same conditions. The oligomer yield and maximum chain length decreases with the structure of the added pyrophosphate in the order A5′ ppA>A5′ ppU>U5′ ppU. Structure analysis of individual oligomer fractions was performed by selective enzymatic hydrolyses followed by HPLC analysis of the products. The regioselectivity for 3′,5′-bond formation is 80–90% in the 9:1 ImpU, A5′ ppA reaction, a percentage comparable to that observed in the 9:1 ImpA, A5′ ppA reaction. Oligomerization of ImpU is inhibited by addition of dA5′ ppdA, and MeppA.
