We have developed methylamine/ammonia as a fast cleavage and deprotection reagent which effects complete cleavage of oligonucleotides from the solid support in 5 min at room temperature and complete deprotection in 5 min at 65 deg C.The problem of transamination side products formation, faced with the commonly used dCbz (10percent side product) upon treatment with methylamine/ammonia, has been sucessfully solved by the use of dCac (0.0percent side product).DMT dCac phosphoramidite-methylamine/ammonia system furnished oligonucleotides in equal or superior quality as compared to the other systems.

Cytosine has been readily alkylated with trialkyl phosphates to give the corresponding N-alkyl derivatives, trimethyl phosphate being especially useful for the N-methylation of the base moiety of cytosine nucleosides.
