Butadiene is a major industrial chemical whose genotoxic effects are attributed to the reactionof its oxidized metabolites, butadiene monoepoxide (BDO) and butadiene diepoxide (BDO2),with DNA. Nucleosides and oligonucleotides containing regio- and stereochemically specificadducts of BDO and the BDO2-related compound, butene 3,4-diol 1,2-epoxide (BDE), on guanine[(2R)- and (2S)-N2-(1-hydroxy-3-buten-2-yl) and (2R,3R)- and (2S,3S)-N2-(2,3,4-trihydroxybut-1-yl), respectively] and on adenine [(2R)- and (2S)-N6-(1-hydroxy-3-buten-2-yl) and (2R,3R)-and (2S,3S)-N6-(2,3,4-trihydroxybut-1-yl), respectively] have been prepared by nonbiomimeticroutes. For guanine adducts, 2-fluoro-O6-(trimethylsilylethyl)-2'-deoxyinosine was treated with(2R)- and (2S)-2-amino-3-buten-1-ol to give the BDO adducts and with (2R,3R)- and (2S,3S)-1-amino-2,3,4-butanetriol to produce the BDE adducts; the adducted oligonucleotides wereprepared from 11-mer oligonucleotides containing the halopurine. Adenine adducts wereprepared in a similar fashion using 6-chloropurine 2'-deoxyriboside as the reactive purinecomponent.
