In the light of recent progress in RNA biology, the need for molecules that bind to RNA and thus may be suited to manipulating RNA-mediated processes is steadily increasing. We present a very short and efficient synthetic route to alkynemodified neamine and 2-deoxystreptamine derivatives on a half-gram scale. These derivatives are suitable for constructing a library of potential divalent RNA binders by cop-
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
