Solid-phase synthesis of oligoribonucleotides

Nucleic Acids Symp Ser. 1985:(16):173-6.

Abstract

Selective deprotection of the 5'-O-dimethoxytrityl group of oligoribonucleotides required for 5'-deprotection reaction during synthesis of an oligoribonucleotide was achieved by the treatment with 1% dichloroacetic acid in dichloromethane at room temperature, without removal of the 2'-O-tetrahydropyranyl group. Phosphorylation of protected ribonucleosides and coupling reaction to the 5' end of oligoribonucleotides attached to polystyrene solid support were carried out by the use of bifunctional reagent 2-chlorophenyl-O-O-bis(1-benzotriazolyl) phosphate. In this way, trinucleotides; TpTpT, dUpdUpT, and UpUpT, were synthesized.
