Olav Schiemann et al.
Nature protocols, 2(4), 904-923 (2007-04-21)
In this protocol, we describe the facile synthesis of the nitroxide spin-label 2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-pyrrolin-1-oxyl-3-acetylene (TPA) and then its coupling to DNA/RNA through Sonogashira cross-coupling during automated solid-phase synthesis. Subsequently, we explain how to perform distance measurements between two such spin-labels on
Synthetic routes to tetrahydrofuran, tetrahydropyran, and spiroketal units of polyether antibiotics and a survey of spiroketals of other natural products.
