Abstract
As a solid phase synthesis method of an oligonucleotide that enables cleavage of a synthesized oligonucleotide even under mild conditions, a solid phase synthesis method of an oligonucleotide, including a step of carrying a nucleotide derivative represented by the formula (I): wherein each symbol is as described in the specification, on a solid phase support via a universal linker, and the like are disclosed.
Claims9
A solid phase synthesis method of an oligonucleotide, comprising a step of subjecting an oligonucleotide having, at the 3′-terminus of an oligonucleotide sequence thereof, a nucleotide derivative represented by the formula (II):
- wherein * is a bonding position to the universal linker;
- ** is a bonding position to the nucleotide or oligonucleotide;
- RZ is O or S;
- X is methoxy, ethoxy, isopropoxy, isobutoxy, neopentyloxy phenyl-oxy, or methyl;
- R1 is a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an optionally protected hydroxy group, an optionally substituted alkyl group, an optionally substituted alkoxy group, an optionally substituted alkenyloxy group, or an optionally substituted alkynyloxy group;
- R2 is a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an optionally protected hydroxy group, an optionally substituted alkyl group, an optionally substituted alkoxy group, an optionally substituted alkenyloxy group, or an optionally substituted alkynyloxy group;
- R3 is a hydrogen atom, an optionally substituted alkyl group, an optionally substituted alkoxy group, or an optionally substituted alkylthio group, or
- R2 and R3 are bonded to each other to form a group represented by the following formula (shown in the order of —R2—R3—):
- —O—C(Ra)2—, —O—C(Rb)2—C(Rc)2—, —O—C(Rd)2—O—, —N(Re)—C(Rf)2—, —N(Rg)—CO—,—S—C(Rh)2—, or —C(Ri)2—C(Rj)2—
- in the above-mentioned formulas, Ra to Rj are each independently a hydrogen atom or an optionally substituted alkyl group;
- and
- Base is an optionally modified nucleobase,
- which oligonucleotide is carried on a solid phase support via a universal linker and synthesized by a nucleotide elongation reaction in a solid phase synthesis method of an oligonucleotide,
- to a reaction for cleaving the oligonucleotide from the solid phase support and the universal linker.
