β¦ Synopsis
Stereo-reproducibility of phosphoroamidite-based phosphorothioate oligonucleotide synthesis is examined through synthesis of singly thioate-substituted oligodeoxynucleotide model compounds. Baseline RP-HPLC resolution of resulting Rp and Sp diastereomers allowed accurate determination of any enantiomeric excess at each phosphorothioate linkage. Our results show that phosphorothioate linkage formation is not a stereo-random process. All investigated stereoisomeric phosphorothioate diester linkages were formed with a small, reproducible excess of the (\mathrm{R}) isomer ( (2-6 %) per linkage). Regardless of the synthesized sequence, all (\mathrm{Rp} / \mathrm{Sp}) diastereoisomer ratios were between (50: 50) and (60: 40), indicating that this synthesis process is under inherent stereochemical control.
