4-Cyano-2-butenyl (CB) is a new type of protecting group for the inter
nucleotidic bonds in the synthesis of oligodeoxyribonucleotides by the
phosphoramidite approach. This group is stable to acidic conditions a
nd can be removed under mild conditions by a delta-elimination pathway
using aqueous ammonium hydroxide. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science
