Abstract:
The present invention relates to oligonucleotide synthesis. In particular, the present invention provides methods for characterizing samples useful for making oligonucleotides.
Abstract:
Synthetic processes are provided wherein oligomeric compounds are prepared having phosphodiester, phosphorothioate, phosphorodithioate, or other covalent linkages. The oligomers have substantially reduced exocyclic adducts deriving from acrylonitrile or related contaminants.
Abstract:
Synthetic processes are provided wherein oligomers are prepared using phosphoramidite compositions. Oligomers having phosphodiester, phosphorothioate, phosphorodithioate covalent linkages are prepared that can include other covalent linkages. Also provided are compositions useful in such processes.

Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a method of synthesizing sulfurized oligonucleotide analogs by reacting an oligonucleotide analog containing a phosphorous(III) linkage with a dithiocarbonic acid diester polysulfide having the formula ##STR1## to produce a sulfurized oligonucleotide analog. The diester polysulfide reagent is useful in solution and solid phase oligonucleotide analog synthesis.
Abstract:
Nucleoside analog phosphoramidites are provided in which the 3'-hydroxyl group is protected with an 2-N-amidoethyl group. The 2-N-amidoethyl protected nucleoside analogs are useful in the synthesis of a wide variety of oligonucleotide analogs. Coupling yields with the protected phosphoramidites in solution or solid phase oligonucleotide analog synthesis are high and the 2-N-amidoethyl group can be removed easily under standard conditions.
