A new linkage for solid phase synthesis of oligodeoxyribonucleotides.

Abstract

An aryl diisocyanate has been used to attach an appropriately protected 2'-deoxyribonucleoside bearing a free 3'-hydroxyl group, to a long chain alkylamine controlled pore glass support via a urethane moiety, in a simple two step procedure. This obviates the need for the preparation and short column chromatographic purification of the 2'-deoxyribonucleoside-3'-O-succinates required for preparation of the widely used succinyl linked supports. The greater stability of the urethane bond compared to an ester bond led to substantially higher yields of oligodeoxyribonucleotides prepared by the solid phase phosphotriester method. More than twenty oligodeoxyribonucleotides have already been synthesized on the glass support bearing the new linkage.
