DNA Nucleosides Deoxyadenosine (A) Deoxyguanosine (G) Deoxycytidine (C) Deoxythymidine (T)
Synthetic Objective G - A - T - T - A - C - A C -phosphate-A -phosphate-T -phosphate- A -phosphate-G- phosphate-A The problem is like the problem of protein synthesis Protection ! The solution?
Phosphoramidites A G C T
DMT protection A G C T
DMT deprotection
Protect amines
Phosphoramidite converted to Phosphite A C Silica surface tetrazole - diisopropylamine
Remove the dimethoxyltrityl group with acid CHCl 2 COOH
Next step tetrazole
