Ds. Sergueev et al., Synthesis of oligonucleoside boranophosphates via an H-phosphonate method without nucleobase protection, NUCLEOS NUC, 20(4-7), 2001, pp. 789-795
Short oligonucleoside boranophosphates containing all four nucleosides were
synthesized on solid support using base-unprotected nucleoside H-phosphona
te monomers. This strategy avoided irreversible base modifications during t
he boronation procedure. Structures of the boranophosphate oligomers were c
onfirmed by H-1, P-31, B-10 NMR and MS analysis as well as by enzymatic hyd
rolysis.
