Abstract:	Finally, a separate study into the selective selenization of nucleic acid oligonucleotides was pursued. By using the soluble Se-transfer agent (i-PrC5H4)2TiSe5 in a new method with solid-phase phosphoramidite oligonucleotide synthesis, a mono-, di-, tri-, and tridecanucleotide of DNA with one phosphoroselenoate modification as well as a dinucleotide of RNA modified with one phosphoroselenoate were synthesized. The utility of phosphate backbone modifications in nucleic acid chemistry has been pursued for phosphorothioates and may now be studied for selenium analogues.
