Abstract

An efficient synthesis of mutagenic and oxidative DNA damage product, 8-oxo-dGTP (4) has been achieved in high yield, along with a serendipitous generation of 8-dimsyl-dG (2). In combination with dPTP (5), 8-oxo-dGTP (4) can be formulated into a kit for investigating DNA random mutagenesis.
