- Process for the capture and reuse of the 4,4′-dimethoxytriphenylmethyl group during manufacturing of oligonucleotides
-
In a standard amidite coupling-based automated oligonucleotide synthesis campaign, the 4,4′-dimethoxytriphenylmethyl (DMT) protecting group is discarded as waste along with large amounts of dichloromethane. Herein, we report a straightforward and simple process for complete capture and recovery of the DMT group and dichloromethane, rendering the oligonucleotide manufacturing process safer and more economical.

- A new method for synthesis of 4,4'-dimethoxytrityl chloride
-
The selection of appropriate protecting groups forms an essential part of oligonucleotide synthesis. 4,4'-Dimethoxytrityl group (DMT-), originally developed by Khorana at al., is still the most frequently used acid labile protecting group for selective blocking of 5'-hydroxyl function of the sugar moiety in the nucleosides or nucleotides.The conventional method of synthesis of 4,4'-dimethoxytrityl chloride (DMTCl, 7), involves the reaction of ethyl benzoate with anisyl magnesium bromide in dry benzene to give the crude product, di-p-anisylphenyl carbinol as a reddish oil which is subsequently converted into DMTCl on refluxing with acetyl chloride.

- Molar Absorptivity and pKR+ of the 4,4'-Dimethoxytrityl Carbenium Ion in Methanolic Water, and its Equilibrium with Chloride Ion
-
The 4,4'-dimethoxytrityl carbenium ion has been generated in 80:20 (v/v) water-methanol containing perchloric acid in a rapid reaction from 4,4'-dimethoxytrityl alcohol and in a slower reaction from 4,4'-dimethoxytritylamine.The pK (-0.95; K=8.98) and molar absorptivity (ε=297 000) of the cation have been measured directly under equilibrium conditions in this highly aqueous medium at ionic strength = 1.0 mol dm-3 by a convenient spectrophotometric method at 25 deg C.In addition, the pK has been measured at other temperatures, which allows the determination of the standard enthalpy (ΔH = -11.4 kJ mol-1) and entropy (ΔS = -20 J K-1 mol-1) of the reaction of the cation with the solvent, and at other ionic strengths.The equilibrium constant for the formation of 4,4'-dimethoxytrityl chloride from the cation and chloride has also been measured in the same medium (KRCl = 8.20 at 25.0 deg C, ionic strength = 1.0 mol dm-3) by generating the cation from the alcohol and perchloric acid in the presence of 0.10 mol dm-3 sodium chloride.

- Efficient synthesis of azetidine through N-trityl- or N- dimethoxytritylazetidines starting from 3-amino-1-propanol or 3- halopropylamine hydrohalides
-
Efficient synthetic routes for the preparation of azetidine starting from commercially available 3-amino-1-propanol or 3-halopropylamine hydrohalides are reported. First, the appropriate N-trityl- or N-dimethoxytrityl protected tosyloxy- or halopropylamines were prepared. These precursors were then cyclized into the N-trityl- or N-dimethoxytritylazetidines. The N-protecting groups were removed in the presence of perchloric acid giving the hydrogen perchlorate salt of azetidine. The latter compound was transformed into its free base using a strong base under anhydrous conditions. The relatively expensive 4,4'-dimethoxytrityl chloride and less expensive trityl chloride used in these synthetic procedures were recycled in good yields. Azetidine hydrogenperchlorate can be used to prepare N-substituted azetidines without the need to isolate the free azetidine.

- Reactions of some p-Substituted Triphenylmethyl Chlorides with Alcohols, Alkali-metal Alcoholates, and Tributylamine
-
The p-methoxylated triphenylmethyl chlorides (4a-c), when heated with alcohols, give mixtures of the corresponding triarylmethanes (5a-c) (via the hydride transfer to the corresponding triarylmethylium cations) and the alkyl (substituted triphenylmethyl) ethers (7a-c) (via polar susbtitution reactions).Part or all of the ether (7c) may be further converted into the substituted triphenylmethanol (6c).In the reaction of the mono-p-methoxylated halides (4a) and (4c) with methanol, the substitution products (7a) and (7c) are formed as the main products, while the main product of the reaction of the di-p-methoxylated halide (4b) with methanol is the substituted triphenylmethane (5b).When the methanol is replaced by 2H4> methanol, no reduction product is formed from the halide (4c).Reaction of halide (4c) with ethanol furnishes exclusively the substituted triphenylmethane (5c).The p-chlorophenyl(diphenyl)methyl chloride (4d) gives, with methanol, mainly or exclusively the ether (7d), and with ethanol, under mild conditions, gives the ether (9d).However, under vigorous conditions, the substituted triphenylmethane (5d) is formed.The reduction of the p-methoxylated triphenylmethyl chloride (4c) by alcohols as well as its conversion into alkyl (p-methoxylated triphenylmethyl) ethers are accompanied, to a certain degree, by exchange of the p-methoxy group of the substrate and the alkoxy group of the alcohol; no similar exchange of the p-chlorine atom of halide (4d) was observed.Explanations for all obsrved diferences are offered.The reactions of the substituted triphenylmethyl chlorides (4b-d) with alkoxides in the corresponding alcohols give the corresponding alkyl (substituted triphenylmethyl) ethers (7b), (7c), (9c), and (9d), respectively, in excellent yields.The reaction of the triarylmethyl chloride (4d) with potassiumt-butoxide in THF in the presence of acetone led, among other products, to the formation of oligomeric material which indicates the operation of single-electron-transfer induced processes.Reaction of the same chloride (4d) with tributylamine in refluxing cumene or t-butylbenzene led to the exclusive formation of a series of products all of which may be derived from the intermediacy of the substituted triphenylmethyl radical (18); the latter, in turn, is thought to arise as a result of dissociative electron transfer from tributylamine to chloride (4d).
