The synthesis of protected model dinucleoside (3′,5′)-O-aryl phosphorothioates, their separation into pure diastereomers, and their successful incorporation into oligonucleotides followed by stereospecific deprotection of the O-aryl phosphorothioate function with oximate ion (inversion) enables the preparation of chimeric PO/PS-oligonucleotides with a predetermined sense of P-chirality at each internucleotide phosphorothioate position. The absolute configuration at the phosphorus of the internucleotide O-aryl phosphorothioate in "dimeric building blocks" has been assigned. The 3′-terminal SP-phosphorothioate linkages effectively protect such chimeric constructs from degradation by human plasma exonuclease. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 2005.
