✦ Synopsis
Oligo-DNAs are synthesized on a solid support using the 9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl group as a 5'-OH base labile protection. The synthesis of the pure protected nucleotides, a relevant phosphoramidite-type strategy of coupling, and the optimization of the deprotection steps are described. This new synthetic method i s an alternative to the standard protocol that avoids acidic conditions.

A phosphoramidite unit having 4-monomethoxytritylthio as a new 5%-hydroxyl protecting group was prepared and employed in oligonucleotide synthesis. The new phosphoramidite enabled the synthesis of oligonucleotides without the use of acids such as TFA or DCA.
