Na2CO3 (3.5 g, 33.0 mmol) was placed in a flame dried round-bottom flask and triphosgene (2.2 g, 7.4 mmol) in

toluene (15 mL) was added at 0 ˚C. After stirring for 1 h at 0 °C, benzyl alcohol 1 (0.87 g, 3.7 mmol) in toluene (5 mL)

was added and stirred for 6 h at room temperature. The insoluble residues were filtered off through a Celite pad. After

AcOEt and H2O. The separated organic layer was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo.

The residue was purified by a silica gel column chromatography, eluted with hexane/AcOEt (2:1) to give compound 17

(1.06 g, 87% over two steps) as a white foam. IR (KBr): ν 3130 (Ar C-H), 1762 (C=O), 1615 (C=N) cm–1; 1H-NMR (300

Compound 17 (1.21 g, 3.70 mmol) was dissolved in dry DCM (40 mL) and Et3OBF4 (669 mg, 3.52 mmol) was added

at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred for 16 h at room temperature and the resulting imidazolium salt

Compound 4 (450 mg, 0.945 mmol) was dissolved in dry pyridine (10 mL) and DMTrCl (384 mg, 1.13 mmol) was

addedat room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred for 3 h at room temperature and quenched by addition of

MeOH at 0 °C with 10 min. stirring. After the solvent was removed in vacuo, the residue was purified by a silica gel

column chromatography, eluted with CHCl3/MeOH (19:1 with 0.5% Et3N) to give compound 21 (705 mg, 96%) as a

white foam. IR (KBr): ν 3455 (-OH), 2978 (Ar C-H), 1700 (C=O), 1642 (C=N) cm–1 [α]D24 8.8 (c 1.00, CHCl3); 1H-NMR

Compound 21 (663 mg, 0.850 mmol) was dissolved in dry DCM (10 mL) and N,N-diisopropylamine (440 µL, 2.55

The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 h and partitioned between AcOEt and H2O. The separated organic layer was

washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by a silica gel column

chromatography, eluted with hexane/AcOEt (6:4) to give compound 11 (400 mg, 48%) as a white foam. IR (KBr): ν

ON 14 was dissolved in 10 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.2) containing 100 mM NaCl to give a final strand

concentrateon of 4.0 µM. To the ON 14 solutions was added H2O2 (1 mM) and the resulting sample mixture was

incubated for 30 min at room temperature in advance to the HPLC analysis and mass measurement.

5. UV melting experiments of duplexes containing dTB without or with H2O2

Equimolecular amounts of the target DNA/RNA and oligonucleotides were dissolved in 10 mM sodium

phosphate buffer (pH 7.2) containing 100 mM NaCl to give a final strand concentration of 4.0 µM. Under the

H2O2 presence condition, to the duplex solution was added H2O2 (1 mM) and the resulting sample mixture was

incubated for 30 min at room temperature in advance to the UV melting experiments.
