✦ Synopsis


Chimeric dodecanucleotides exhibiting a central gap of 6 phosphorothioate internucleoside linkages masked with pivaloyloxymethyl groups and uncharged or charged flanks were synthesized by alkylation of the corresponding phosphorothioate oligos. In total CEM cell extract, they selectively yielded the unmasked charged oligos with a half-time of about 30 hours. Furthermore during alkylation of phosphorothioate linkages a partial desulfurization was observed.
