Oligodeoxyribonucleotide bearing the di-acetylenic linkage has been prepared. Staring from 5-Iodo-2'-deoxyuridine(1), a four-step sequence, consisting of the Pd(0)-catalyzed Heck-type C-C coupling with acetylenic group, protection of 5'-hydroxy group, generation of acetylenic hydrogen, and Glaser oxidative coupling reaction leads to the dimeric oligodeoxyribonucleotide(5).
