Abstract

When employing phosphoramidites 1a-d in the solid-phase synthesis of oligonucleoside phosphorothioates, the thermolytic 2-[N-methyl-N-(2-pyridyl)]aminoethyl thiophosphate protecting group is lost to a large extent during the course of the synthesis. The resulting phosphorothioate diesters are then substantially desulfurized upon recurring exposure to a commercial solution of deblocking reagent during chain assembly. This problem is caused by the secondary decomposition product(s) of the reagent and is alleviated by using a fresh solution of the deblocking reagent prepared from solid trichloroacetic acid.
