Synthesis of an Oligonucleotide Bearing a Phosphate Function at the 5′-Terminus Using a Novel Protecting Group in Terms of a Cellulose Acetate Derivative as a Polymer-Support

Abstract
Synthesis of the title oligonucleotide bearing a phosphate function at the 5′-terminus, i.e., pCpUpCpGpUpCpCpApCpCpA, by the use of the terminal cytidylic acid unit involving a novel protecting group of 2-[2-(monomethoxytrityloxy)ethylthio]ethyl group on its 5′-phosphoryl function in terms of a cellulose acetate polymer-support is described.
