RESUMO

Phosphoramidite reagents can phosphitylate guanine bases at the O6-position during solid phase synthesis and serious chain cleavage occurs if the base phosphitylation is not eliminated before the iodine/water oxidation step. This can be accomplished by blocking the O6-position with a 2-cyanoethyl protecting group for deoxyribonucleotides or with a p-nitrophenylethyl group for ribonucleotides, regenerating the guanine base with water or acetate ions, or using N-methylanilinium trifluoroacetate (TAMA) as the phosphoramidite activator. The effectiveness of these methods was demonstrated by both 31P NMR studies and by the synthesis of d(Gp)23G, (Gp)14G, and d-(Gp)13rG sequences.
