General description

3-Hydroxypropionitrile, at low 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) surface excesses, has the phospholipid oriented with the polar headgroups pointing out of the solution.

3-Hydroxypropionitrile serves as an intermediate through nucleophilic addition or hydrogenation to synthesize heterocyclic rings, mercaptopropanoic acid, or cyclophosphamide.

Phospholipids are a main component of cell membranes. Therefore, the experimental investigation of the self-organization of phospholipids is of great interest.

Chimeric oligonucleotides containing phosphodiester and phosphorothioate linkages have been obtained using the solid phase synthesis. The oligonucleotide parts possessing natural internucleotide phosphate bonds were assembled using commercially available nucleoside 3'-O-(2-cyanoethyl-N,N-diisopropylamino)phosphoramidites 7 whereas the phosphorothioate segment was built using nucleoside 3'-O-(2-thio-1,3,2-oxathiaphospholanes)
