Studies on deoxyribonucleic acids and related compounds. V. Synthesis of pentadecanucleotide duplex containing the ideal Pribnow sequence of promoter by the phosphotriester method using a new phosphorylating reagent

Abstract
A phosphorylating reagent o-chlorophenyl phosphoro-p-anisi-dochloridate was synthesized to phosphorylate the 3'-hydroxyl group of N, 5'-protected deoxynucleosides. These nucleotides served as 3'-terminal units for the synthesis of oligonucleotide blocks. By condensation of these oligonucleotide blocks the partially complementary deoxypentadecanucleotides dAGCTTATAATGCTCG and dAGCTCGAGCATTATA, which contained the ideal Pribnow sequence TATAATG, were synthesized.
