NBS-DMSO as a nonaqueous nonbasic oxidation reagent for the synthesis of oligonucleotides

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2003 Oct 20;13(20):3537-40. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(03)00754-6.

Abstract

A new method for the oxidation of nucleoside phosphite triester into phosphate triester under nonbasic and nonaqueous conditions using NBS-DMSO in CH(3)CN has been developed. The utility of this method for solution- and solid-phase synthesis of oligonucleotide is demonstrated.
