We describe basic chemical properties of 4,5‐di(ethoxycarbonyl)‐1,3‐dioxolan‐2‐yl (DECDO) in view of its use as a protecting group for the 2′‐hydroxyl function of ribonucleosides. The DECDO group is found to be compatible with the DMTr strategy for the currently‐used oligonucleotide synthesis. Post‐synthetic treatment with ammonia results in the conversion of this protecting group into the 4,5‐dicarbamoyl‐1,3‐dioxolan‐2‐yl (DCBDO) group which is unexpectedly more stable in aqueous acidic solution.
