Formation of 4,4′-dimethoxytrityl-C-phosphonate oligonucleotides

Add time:08/25/2019    Source:sciencedirect.com

Incomplete sulfurization during solid-phase synthesis of phosphorothioate oligonucleotides using phosphoramidite chemistry was identified as the cause of formation of two new classes of process-related oligonucleotide impurities containing a DMTr-C-phosphonate (DMTr = 4,4′-dimethoxytrityl) moiety. Phosphite triester intermediates that failed to oxidize (sulfurize) to the corresponding phosphorothioate triester react during the subsequent acid-induced (dichloroacetic acid) detritylation with the DMTr cation or its equivalent in an Arbuzov-type reaction. This leads to formation of DMTr-C-phosphonate mono- and diesters resulting in oligonucleotides modified with a DMTr-C-phosphonate moiety located internally or at the 5′terminal hydroxy group. DMTr-C-phosphonate derivatives are not detected when optimized sulfurization conditions are employed.
