M. Beier et W. Pfleiderer, PHTHALOYL STRATEGY - A NEW APPROACH TOWARDS OLIGODEOXYRIBONUCLEOTIDE SYNTHESIS, Nucleosides & nucleotides, 16(7-9), 1997, pp. 1621-1624
A new rapid strategy for machine-aided oligodeoxyribonucleotide synthe
sis has been established utilizing phthaloyl groups for protection of
the heterocyclic amino functions within the phosphoramidite approach.
A large number of DNA-sequences has been synthesized. Due to high puri
ty and speed of performance this strategy offers an excellent alternat
ive to the common used acyl approach.
