Preparations of four diol monomers containing nucleic acid bases and the corresponding model polymers of polynucleotides with linear polyester backbone and nucleic acid base derivative as pending side chains are described. N-(1′,3′-Dihydroxy-2′-methyl-2′-propyl)-2-(thymin-l-yl)propionamide (Ia, HMPTPA), N-(1′,3′-dihydroxy-2-methyl-2′-propyl)-2-(uracil-l-yl)propionamide (Ib, HMPUPA), and their isomers, N-(β,β′-dihydroxyethyl)-2-(thynin-1-yl)propionamide (IIa, HETPA) and N-(β,β′-dihydroxyethyl)-2-(uracil-1-yl)propionamide (IIb, HEUPA) were synthesized through the selective N-acylation of 2-methyl-2-amino-1,3-propanediol and diethanolamine with 2-(thymin-1-yl)propionic acid (TPA) and 2-(uracil-1-yl)propionic acid (UPA), respectively, by the active amide-benzotriazole method. Diol monomers I and II were polycondenzed with active amide of benzotriazole such as 1,1′-(isophthaloyl)bisbenzotriazole (IPBBT) in the presence of triethylamine and in DMF at 60°C, giving polyesters containing thymine and uracil derivatives as the side group. Prior to polymer synthesis, an O-acylation of Ia using the active monoamide l-benzoylbenzotriazole was carried out as a model compound study.
