  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. bThe reaction was irradiated by 10 W LED and carried out at 0 °C for 5 h. cYields were determined by LC-MS and used the analytical method B. dYields were determined by LC-MS and used the analytical method A. eThe mass data was collected by using HRMS.
