Abstract: | Triaryloxydichlorophosphoranes were tested as condensing agents for oligodeoxyribonucleotide synthesis in the phosphotriester method. Tris(2,4,6-tribromophenoxy)dichlorophosphorane (BDCP) was found to be a relatively stable crystalline material which could be used as a chemical reagent. A notable feature of the BDCP-promoted condensation reaction was studied by 31P-NMR. A small amount of BDCP compared to the conventional condensing agent was effective for the generation of active nucleotide intermediates and BDCP itself was quantitatively converted into an inert material, tris(2,4,6-tribromophenyl)phosphate (2). Thus, BDCP enabled us to separate the activation step from the condensation process in the phosphotriester method. This preactivation method was applied to the solid-phase synthesis. |
