Abstract: | A 2′-O-hexylthiotrityl adenosine phosphoramidite has been synthesized and incorporated into oligonucleotide phosphodiesters and phosphorothioates. This tether has potential antisense applications, offers a convenient nucleophile for conjugation of various moieties that would reside in the minor groove, and may form novel tertiary structures. |
