Ab. Eldrup et al., NEW SOLID-PHASE SYNTHESIS OF OLIGODEOXYTHYMIDINE PHOSPHORODITHIOATES BY A MODIFIED HOBT-METHOD, Tetrahedron letters, 36(34), 1995, pp. 6127-6130
Two new dithiophosphorylating reagents 2a,b and shown to give nucleosi
de monomers 3a,b with reactivities suitable for solid phase synthesis.
An octamer and a nonamer deoxythymidine phosphorodithioate were prepa
red on a TentaGel support with good coupling efficiencies. The product
s after deblocking are free from phosphorothioate contaminations (dete
ction limit 0.5%).
