Abstract
Synthetic processes are provided for the solution phase synthesis of oligonucleotides, especially phosphorothioate oligonucleotides, and intermediate compounds useful in the processes. Intermediates having structure are prepared in accord with preferred embodiments.

A method for preparing an oligomer comprising reacting together, in solution,
- a first synthon comprising at least two nucleoside units and having a 5′ location protected with a 5′ hydroxylic blocking group and a 3′ location substituted with a function having the formula
