The target molecules were obtained after subsequent removal of thiol and maleimide protecting groups from 5′-maleimido-3′-thiol-derivatized linear precursors. Retro-Diels-Alder conditions deprotecting the maleimide simultaneously promoted cyclization cleanly and in high yield.3 p.application/pdfeng(c) Sánchez, Albert et al., 2013BioquímicaÀcids nucleicsBacterisMicrobiologiaCiclització (Química)BiochemistryNucleic acidsBacteriaMicrobiologyRing formation (Chemistry)Oligonucleotide cyclization: The thiol-maleimide reaction revisitedinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6199512014-02-18info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess23183555
