The 2′-OH protecting groups are listed in the parentheses.
Total reaction time was based on the time required for all chemical steps. In addition, 16 h were added for any explicit mention of overnight procedures and 24 h were added for any chromatographic purifications.
Reactions for amidites harboring post-transcriptional modifications begin with isotope-labeled precursors whereas reactions for unmodified amidites begin with isotope-labeled protected nucleobase. Also, the number in parentheses represents the number of chromatographic purification steps.
