The syntheses of two phosphoramidite building blocks based on BNSF and BNSMB structures are disclosed. Furthermore, some common molecular intermediates have been designed and linked to the central biphenyl core of the two molecules, resulting in a versatile and cost-effective design. These compounds can be effectively introduced to DNA oligonucleotides via the well-established standard cyanoethylphosphoramidite chemistry on the nucleic acid synthesizer. Fragmentation of these BNSF- and BNSMB-functionalized DNA strands is achieved by both one-photon and two-photon photolysis of photoliable bonds of [2-(2-nitrophenyl)propoxy]carbonyl groups on BNSF and BNSMB molecules respectively, resulting in two short pieces of single-stranded DNAs. The versatile design and facile synthesis of these two-photon photocleavage phosphoramidite molecules are beneficial to synthetic chemists and photochemists for the development of new caged compounds which enables to introduce into oligonucleotides as light-triggered carriers via solid-phase synthesis for a wide range of applications in materials science, polymer, chemistry, biology and DNA nanoecthnology.
