  1. aGeneral condition: Oligonucleotide (100 nmol), ethylboronic acid (400.0 equiv.), MesAcr (50 mol%), (NH4)2S2O8 (200.0 equiv.), TFA (50.0 equiv.), and catechol (100.0 equiv.) in MeCN (0.25 mL), H2O (0.25 mL), irradiated by 85 W white light at r.t. for 16 h.
  2. bYields were determined by LC-MS and used the analytical method B.
  3. cYields were determined by LC-MS and used the analytical method A.
  4. dThe mass data was collected by using HRMS.
  5. eN-butylboronic acid (400.0 equiv.) was used, and reaction time was extended to 24 hours.
  6. falkylpinacolyl boronate esters (400.0 equiv.) was used, and methylboronic acid (400.0 equiv.) was additionally added.
  7. gCyclobutylboronic acid (200.0 equiv.) was used, equivalent of catechol has been reduced to 200, and irradiated by 10 W white LED at 10 °C.
  8. hCyclopentylboronic acid (400.0 equiv.) was used, and irradiated by 10 W white LED at 10 °C.
  9. iYields were determined by LC-MS and used the analytical method C.
