摘要
Incomplete sulfurization during solid-phase synthesis of phosphorothioate oligonucleotides using phosphoramidite chemistry was identified as the cause of formation of two new classes of process-related oligonucleotide impurities containing a DMTr-C-phosphonate (DMTr = 4,4'-dimethoxytrityl) moiety. Phosphite triester intermediates that failed to oxidize (sulfurize) to the corresponding phosphorothioate triester react during the subsequent acid-induced (dichloroacetic acid) detritylation with the DMTr cation or its equivalent in an Arbuzov-type reaction. This leads to formation of DMTr-C-phosphonate mono- and diesters resulting in oligonucleotides modified with a DMTr-C-phosphonate moiety located internally or at the 5' terminal hydroxy group. DMTr-C-phosphonate derivatives are not detected when optimized sulfurization conditions are employed. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
