The triphenylmethyl (Tr) group undergoes a transfer (transetherification or disproportionation) between the molecules of 5'-O-Tr-2'-deoxynucleosides in a process mediated by anhydrous sulfates of Cu+2, Fe+2, or Ni+2 to yield mixtures of 3',5'-bis-O-Tr and 3'-O-Tr products. If phenylmethanol is present in a reaction medium, detritylation results with concomitant formation of phenylmethyl triphenylmethyl ether. The behavior of t-butyldimethylsilyl (TBDMS) group in 5'-O-TBDMS-2'-deoxynucleosides is exactly the same. Such type of transetherifications was not observed before for the O-Tr and O-TBDMS groups.
