An oligonucleotide derivative having the structure of formula (A) and methods for preparing the oligonucleotide derivative are disclosed. wherein R3 is a first oligonucleotide; R1 is selected from the group consisting of alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, heterocyclyl, heteroaryl, a polyethylene glycol, a peptide, a protein, a polysaccharide, and a second oligonucleotide; R2 is a linker or a direct bond; Z1 is NR4, S, or O, and Z2 is NR4 or S, wherein R4 is selected from H, alkyl, aryl, heterocyclyl, or heteroaryl. A method includes: synthesizing an oligonucleotide derivative comprising an amino or thiol group; and reacting a 3,4-dialkoxycyclobutene-1,2-dione with the oligonucleotide derivative to produce an oligonucleotide-squarate mono-conjugate. |
