Replication of a synthetic oligomer using chameleon base-pairs
Diego Núñez‐Villanueva, Christopher A. Hunter
Abstract
Salt bridges were used to attach polymerisable amidine monomers to an oligomeric benzoic acid template. CuAAC oligomerisation reactions in the presence of a benzoic acid 3-mer template gave the amidine 3-mer copy as the major product. Cleavage of ester linkers was used to hydrolyse off the amidine recognition units and convert the product into a benzoic acid 3-mer copy of the original template.
