Abstract

Deoxyribonucleoside phosphoramidites are prepared in situ from 5'-O,N-protected deoxyribonucleosides and 2-cyanoethyl N,N,N',N'-tetraisopropylphosphorodiamidite with tetrazole as catalyst, and the solutions applied directly on an automatic solid-phase DNA synthesizer. Using LCAA-CPG support and a cycle time of 12.5 min, oligonucleotides of 16-25 bases are obtained with a DMT-efficiency per cycle of 98.0-99.3%. The crude and fully deblocked products are of a purity comparable to that obtained using purified phosphoramidites. In case of d(G)16 the product was difficult to analyse and a better product was not obtained using doubly protected (O-6 diphenylcarbamoyl) guanine.
