There are some examples where conformational restriction has been introduced into nucleotides with the sole purpose of increasing the thermodynamic stability of the duplex or triplex between the modified oligonucleotide and its complement. This thesis explored the hypothesis of incorporating a cyclopropane moiety into the internucleotide linkage. This research demonstrates the successful synthesis of a novel cyclopropanated sulfonamide dinucleotide 19.(DIAGRAM, TABLE OR GRAPHIC OMITTED...PLEASE SEE MAI) / This novel molecule has been synthesized by reacting an $ alpha, beta$ unsaturated phenylselenoyl nucleotide derivative 7 with an active methylene sulfonamide nucleotide 17 under Michael addition conditions. Binding studies concerning the cyclopropanated sulfonamide dinucleotide 19 are pending.
