A new type of internucleotide phosphorodithioate linkage is described, wherein one of the sulfur atoms occupies a 5'-bridging position. Representative dinucleotides possessing such a bond were synthesized by S-alkylation of nucleoside-3'-O-phosphorodithioates with 5'-halogeno-5'-deoxy-nucleosides. A fully protected dithymidylate containing internucleotide 5'-S-phosphorodithioate linkage was converted into a 3'-O-phosphoramidite derivative and employed for introduction of a modified dinucleotide into a predetermined position of the oligonucleotide sequence. The 5'-S-phosphorodithioate linkage in dinucleotide analogues was found to be resistant toward nucleolytic degradation with snake venom PDE and nuclease P1. However, P-stereoselective degradation was observed for diastereomers of 5'-S-phosphorodithioate dithymidine analogs under treatment with calf spleen PDE. The new 5'-S-phosphorodithioate linkage was readily degraded by iodine solutions in the presence of water. It was also found that oligothymidylates containing a single 5'-S-phosphorodithioate linkage form much weaker duplexes with their complementary sequences.
