Functionalized 2'-O-methyl oligoribonucleotides have been prepared on a solid-support by conventional phosphoramidite chemistry. Tethering of two azacrown ligands to the T-terminus of a 2'-O-methyl oligoribonucleotide increases the catalytic efficiency by more than one order of magnitude compared to the corresponding monoazacrown-derivatized oligonucleotide.
