Abstract:A highly effective and convenient “bis‐click” strategy was developed for the template‐independent circularization of single‐stranded oligonucleotides by employing copper(I)‐assisted azide–alkyne cycloaddition. Terminal triple bonds were incorporated at both ends of linear oligonucleotides. Alkynylated 7‐deaza‐2′‐deoxyadenosine and 2′‐deoxyuridine residues with different side chains were used in solid‐phase synthesis with phosphoramidite chemistry. The bis‐click ligation of linear 9‐ to 36‐mer oligonucleotides with 1,4‐bis(azidomethyl)benzene afforded circular DNA in a simple and selective way; azido modification of the oligonucleotide was not necessary. Short ethynyl side chains were compatible with the circularization of longer oligonucleotides, whereas octadiynyl residues were used for short 9‐mers. Compared with linear duplexes, circular bis‐click constructs exhibit a significantly increased duplex stability over their linear counterparts. The intramolecular bis‐click ligation protocol is not limited to DNA, but may also be suitable for the construction of other macrocycles, such as circular RNAs, peptides, or polysaccharides.
