In this study;
we report a photo-cross-linking reaction between p-stilbazole moieties. p-Stilbazoles were introduced into base-paring positions of complementary DNA strands. The [2 + 2] photocycloaddition reaction occurred rapidly upon light irradiation at 340 nm. Consequently;
duplex was cross-linked and highly stabilized after 3 min irradiation. The CD spectrum of the cross-linked duplex indicated that the B-form double-helical structure was not severely distorted. NMR analysis revealed only one conformation of the duplex prior to UV irradiation;
whereas two diastereomers were detected after the photo-cross-linking reaction. Before UV irradiation;
p-stilbazole can adopt two different stacking modes because of rotation around the single bond between the phenyl and vinyl groups;
these conformations cannot be discriminated on the NMR time scale due to rapid interconversion. However;
photo-cross-linking fixed the conformation and enabled discrimination both by NMR and HPLC. The artificial base pair of p-methylstilbazolium showed almost the same reactivity as p-stilbazole;
indicating that positive charge does not affect the reactivity. When a natural nucleobase was present in the complementary strand opposite p-stilbazole;
the duplex was significantly destabilized relative to the duplex with paired p-stilbazole moieties and no photoreaction occurred between p-stilbazole and the nucleobase. The p-stilbazole pair has potential as a third base pair for nanomaterials due to its high stability and superb orthogonality. © 2013 American Chemical Society;
