Abstract

The synthesis of oligonucleotides from dimers to a hexamer by a H-phosphonate approach in solution using solid-supported acyl chloride is reported herein. This strategy avoids the use of chromatography. The work-ups have been simplified and involve filtration, aqueous extraction and precipitation. The synthesis was scaled up to 1 mmol for the dimers and 340 μmol for the hexamer. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2006)
