Abstract

A method for the facile removal of the t-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) group with aluminum chloride during solid-phase oligonucleotide synthesis is presented. The method enables the common amino protecting group, which is stable to base and weak acid, to be removed with no threat to the integrity of the oligonucleotide. The suitability of several other Lewis acids for this procedure is discussed.
