Lj. Brown et al., Synthesis of a modified thymidine monomer for site-specific incorporation of reporter groups into oligonucleotides, TETRAHEDR L, 42(13), 2001, pp. 2587-2591
The efficient incorporation of reporter groups into oligonucleotides at spe
cific sites has been facilitated by the synthesis of a novel modified thymi
dine monomer with an FMOC-protected hydroxyl group on a linker. The primary
hydroxyl group can be deprotected during or after solid-phase oligonucleot
ide synthesis and reacted with any reporter phosphoramidite. (C) 2001 Elsev
