Abstract:

We have developed two methods, in solution and on solid phase, that give easy access to trinucleotide phosphoramidites capable of undergoing coupling reactions by the solid-phase phosphoramidite approach. The solution protocol is characterized by application of 5'-O-dimethoxytrityl (DMT) and 3'-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBDMS) as a pair of orthogonal protecting groups and 2-cyanoethyl (CE) for protection of the phosphate. Starting with suitably functionalized monomers, synthesis proceeds in the 3'- to 5'-direction, delivering the fully protected trinucleotide. The 3'-O-protecting group is cleaved followed by phosphitylation of the free 3'-OH group. The solid-phase protocol is based on standard phosphoramidite chemistry in conjunction with a dithiomethyl linkage connecting the 3'-starting nucleoside to the polymer. The disulfide bridge can be cleaved under neutral conditions for release of the trinucleotide from the support preserving all other protecting groups. © 2018 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
