Abstract
Syntheses of H-phosphonate salts (4a-e) of N / S-protected alcohols such as 6-aminohexan-1-ol, 3-mercaptopropan-1-ol and 6-mercaptohexan-1-ol are described using 2-chloro-5,6-benzo-1,3,2-phosphorin-4-one (2) as the phosphonylating agent. The H-phosphonate salts (4a-e), in the presence of pivaloyl chloride or adamantoyl chloride as an activator, were coupled to the 5′-end of synthetic oligonucleotides on solid supports to produce amino or thio-linked oligonucleotides. Following deprotection and purification, fluorescent dyes, biotin derivatives and poly-L-lysine-maleimide were separately attached to the functionalised oligonucleotides. Identical derivatized oligomers were obtained with cyanoethyl-N,N-diisopropylamidite chemistry and amidites (5a-e) of the respective alcohols.
