28. We did not synthesize tri- or tetramethylated azobenzenes because of the following reasons: Synthesis of tri- or tetraalkylated azobenzenes at ortho positions is rather difficult due to the steric hindrance between the methyl groups on both sides of the benzene rings (C. J. Byrne, D. A. R. Happer, M. P. Hartshorn, H. K. J. Powell, J. Chem. Soc, Perkin Trans. 1 1987, 1649-1653). According to the literature (ref. [9b]), tri- or tetraalkylation at the ortho positions makes the trans-to-cis photoisomerization slower, and accordingly the cis content after UV light irradiation becomes much less, which is unfavorable for the efficient photoregulation. In addition, we think that fur- ther methylation might not improve the photoregulatory efficiency based on our present finding; modification of the distal benzene ring, but not the proximal one was effective for the significant improvement of photoregulatory efficiency.

In addition, although the length of the present sequence involving 2′,6′-MeAzo was four bases longer than that of Azo, which our group previously used, the ΔTm of 2′,6′-Me-Azo was higher than that of Azo in all the sequences, demonstrating the superiority of 2′,6′-Me-Azo (see the Supporting Information, Figure S2 and Table Sl).
