Synthesis of RNA using 2'-O-DTM protection.

tert-Butyldithiomethyl (DTM), a novel hydroxyl protecting group, cleavable under reductive conditions, was developed and applied for the protection of 2'-OH during solid-phase RNA synthesis. This function is compatible with all standard protecting groups used in oligonucleotide synthesis, and allows for fast and high-yield synthesis of RNA. Oligonucleotides containing the 2'-O-DTM groups can be easily deprotected under the mildest possible aqueous and homogeneous conditions. The preserved 5'-O-DMTr function can be used for high-throughput cartridge RNA purification.

The influences of a nitrogen atom position in dinucleoside 2-,3-,4-pyridylphosphonates on fragmentation patterns in electrospray ionization multistage tandem mass spectra.

2-,3-,4-Pyridylphosphonates and their phosphonothioate congeners were analyzed by electrospray ionization multistage tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS(n)). It was found that the fragmentation pathways of these compounds were not influenced to any detectable extent by the stereochemistry at the phosphorus centers but were sensitive to the position of a nitrogen atom in the pyridine ring of these compounds. Possible mechanisms for fragmentations of the investigated compounds are discussed in detail.
