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:
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:
Improved methods for preparation of phosphoramidite compounds are disclosed. The phosphoramidites are useful, for example, for the preparation of oligonucleotides by solid state oligonucleotide synthetic regimes.
Abstract:
A 2-N-amidoethyl protected nucleoside analog phosphoramidite of formula (1): ##STR1## is useful in the synthesis of a wide variety of oligonucleotide analogs. Coupling yields with phosphoramidite (1) in solution or solid phase oligonucleotide analog synthesis are high and the 2-N-amidoethyl protecting group can be removed easily under standard conditions.

Abstract:
Synthetic processes are provided wherein high purity oligomers are prepared using support bound phosphoramidite protocols starting with a nucleoside or larger synthon linked to a support media through a nucleosidic heterocyclic base moiety. Intermediates undergoing depurination at the support linkage site are removed during the wash cycle. Also provided are compositions useful in such processes.

Abstract:
A process of manufacturing oligonucleotides includes a 5′-deblocking step in which the 5-blocking group is removed with dichloroacetic acid that is essentially free of chloral. The process is useful for making oligonucleotides that are substantially free of chloral adducts.
