The dominating four-step, phosphoramidite chemistry widely applied in commercial oligo synthesizers. The initial nucleoside(s) is tethered to specific substrate via its 3′ hydroxyl. The synthetic cycle involves four steps of deprotection, base coupling, capping, and oxidation. Synthesis proceeds in direction of 3′ to 5′.
