Six fluorescein-nitroxide radical hybrid-compounds (2ab, 3ab, 4, and 5) were synthesized by the condensation of 5- or 6-carboxy-fluorescein and 4-amino-TEMPO (2ab), 5- or 6-aminofluorescein and 4-carboxy-TEMPO (3ab), and fluorescein and 4-carboxy-TEMPO (4), or by reaction of the 3-hydroxyl group of fluorescein with DPROXYL-3-ylmethyl methanesulfonate (5). Fluorescence intensities (around 520 nm) after reduction of the radical increased to 1.43-, 1.38-, and 1.61-folds for 2a, 2b and 3b respectively; 3a alone exhibited a decrease in intensity on reduction. Since 4 was readily solvolyzed in PBS or even methanol to afford fluorescein and 4-carboxy-TEMPO, its fluorescence change could not be measured. Hybrid compound 5 containing an ether-linkage between the fluorescein phenol and 3-hydroxymethyl-DPROXYL hydroxyl centers, was stable and on reduction, showed a maximum increase (3.21-fold) in relative fluorescence intensity in PBS (pH 5.0), despite its remarkably low absolute fluorescence intensity.

A new labelling technique attaching fluorescein via a carbamoyl linker directly to the amino groups of the nucleobases was developed. The amino groups were first converted to the phenoxycarbonyl derivatives (→ 10, 15, 19, 58), which reacted under mild conditions with 5-aminofluorescein to give the corresponding N-[(fluorescein-5-ylamino)carbonyl] derivatives (→ 11-14, 16, 17, 20, 59, 60). The introduction of the 5-aminofluorescein residue into properly protected adenylyl-adenosine dimers (→ 39, 40) and trimer (→ 50) worked well, and final deprotection of these uniformly blocked precursors led on treatment with DBU (1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene), in one step to dimer 41 and trimer 51. Synthesis of an appropriately protected monomeric phosphoramidite building block (→ 75) was more difficult, since introduction of the 2-(4-nitrophenyl) ethyl residue into the fluorescein moiety in 59 led mainly to trisubstitution to give 61 including the urea function. Formation of the adenylyl dimer 66 and trimer 67 proceeded in the usual manner by phosphoramidite chemistry; however, deprotection of 67 with DBU was incomplete since the O-alkyl group at the urea moiety was found to be very stable. Finally, the appropriate phosphoramidite building block 75 could be synthesized by the sequence 59 → 72 → 73 → 74 → 75. The phosphoramidite 75 was used for the synthesis of dimer 77 and trimer 79 by solution chemistry, as well as for that of various oligonucleotides by the machine-aided approach on solid support carrying the fluorophore at different positions of the chain (→ 84-87). The attachment of the fluorescein fluorophor via a short carbamoyl linker onto the 6-amino group of 2′-deoxyadenosine enables such molecules to function very well in fluorescence-polarization experiments.
