Abstract

See full text

A process of producing synthetic oligonucleotides on a small or large scale using H-phosphonate nucleoside monomers is described. The process can be used to synthesize oligonucleotides of any length, including oligodeoxyribonucleotides and oligoribonucleotides. The process results in a coupling efficiency of greater than 97% and consumes only two to three equivalents of monomer to activator per coupling reaction. In addition, the process does not require a separate capping step and capping reagent because the activating reagent serves a self-capping function thereby preventing elongation of failed sequences. The H-phosphonate linkages of the fully synthesized oligonucleotide can be oxidized with a variety of reagents to obtain either phosphate diester or other types of modified oligonucleotides.
