Abstract An oligouridylate with chain-length of more thanthree was condensed on a polyadenylate [poly(A)]template with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDAC) in imidazole buffer. The condensation reactionproceeds via the phosphorimidazolide of theoligouridylate as an intermediate. Pentauridylate[(pU)5] was converted to decauridylate[(pU)10] in 10% yield at 0 °C for 7 daysin the presence of the poly(A) template, while nocoupling product was obtained in the absence of thepoly(A) template. The resulting linkage of the(pU)10 was mainly 2′–5′ linkage.
