Js. Nelson et al., N3'-]P5' OLIGODEOXYRIBONUCLEOTIDE PHOSPHORAMIDATES - A NEW METHOD OF SYNTHESIS BASED ON A PHOSPHORAMIDITE AMINE-EXCHANGE REACTION, Journal of organic chemistry, 62(21), 1997, pp. 7278-7287
A new method for the synthesis of N3'-->P5' phosphoramidate oligodeoxy
nucleotides is demonstrated, Described herein is the synthesis of the
monomers utilized in the phosphoramidite amine-exchange process and th
e experimental details pertaining to this new mode of chain assembly.
The phosphoramidite amine-exchange method generates coupling yields in
the 92-95% range per cycle and further enables the synthesis of chime
ric phosphoramidate/phosphodiester or phosphoramidate/phosphorothioate
oligonucleotides with no instrument modifications.
