Among the various phosphate/thiophosphate protecting groups suitable for solid-phase oligonucleotide synthesis, the 3-(N-tert-butylcarboxamido)-1-propyl group is one of the most convenient, as it can be readily removed, as needed, under thermolytic conditions at neutral pH. The deprotection reaction proceeds rapidly (t1/2 ~ 100 s) through an intramolecular cyclodeesterification reaction involving the amide function and the release of the phosphate/thiophosphate group as a 2-(tertbutylimino)tetrahydrofuran salt. Incorporation of the 3-(N-tert-butylcarboxamido)-1-propyl group into the deoxyribonucleoside phosphoramidites 1a-d is achieved using inexpensive raw materials. The coupling efficiency of 1a-d in the solid-phase synthesis of d(ATCCGTAGCTAAGGTCATGC) and its phosphorothioate analogue is comparable to that of commercial 2-cyanoethyl deoxyribonucleoside phosphoramidites. These oligonucleotides were phosphate/thiophosphate-deprotected within 30 min upon heating at 90 °C in Phosphate-Buffered Saline (PBS buffer, pH 7.2). Since no detectable nucleobase modification or significant phosphorothioate desulfurization occurs, the 3-(N-tert-butylcarboxamido)-1-propyl group represents an attractive alternative to the 2-cyanoethyl group toward the large-scale preparation of therapeutic oligonucleotides.

A series of protected thymidine thiophosphoramidites have been prepared and their properties evaluated.Although less reactive than phosphoramidites, thiophosphoramidites with small N-substituents (methyl) are useful synthons for the preparation of nucleoside phosphorodithioates, as demonstrated by the preparation of a thymidine dimer.The coupling reactions are not as clean as those of the analogous phosphoramidites since the alkylthio group is somewhat labile.
