Method for preparing oligonucleotide

Abstract

A method for preparing oligonucleotide comprising reacting the compound of Formula (1) with the compound of Formula (2) in a liquid reaction medium under the condition of condensation reaction to obtain the compound of formula (3). In the method according to the present invention, the functional groups are protected by suitable protective groups to only expose the 5′-OH of the compound of Formula (1) (OH-component) and the 3′-phosphate of the compound of Formula (2) (P-component) which are to be connected, so that the condensation reaction is carried out in a liquid reaction medium to bond the OH-component and P-component to obtain DNA or RNA short chain. The method of the present invention does not need a solid phase column and can be carried out in a liquid reaction medium. Thus, oligonucleotides can be synthesized on a large scale.
