The synthesis of the core motif of branched poly(adenosine diphosphate ribose) (poly(ADPr)) is described, and structural analysis reasserted the proposed stereochemistry for branching. For the synthesis, a ribose trisaccharide was first constructed with only 伪-O-glycosidic linkages. Finally, the adenine nucleobase was introduced via a Vorbr眉ggen-type glycosylation reaction. The orthogonality of the selected protecting groups was demonstrated, allowing for the construction of branched poly(ADPr) oligomers in the near future.
