We describe stereocontrolled synthesis of phosphorothioate oligonucleotides including stereospecific transesterification to form chiral phosphite triester backbone under basic conditions. Substrate phosphite triesters with phenoxy derivative substituents as leaving groups were separated into individual stereoisomers and reacted with hydroxyl-containing compounds to form chiral phosphite triester backbone. Subsequent stereoretentive sulfurization and deprotection gave desired stereocontrolled phosphorothioate linkages.

D008722 Methods A series of steps taken in order to conduct research. Techniques,Methodological Studies,Methodological Study,Procedures,Studies, Methodological,Study, Methodological,Method,Procedure,Technique
D009841 Oligonucleotides Polymers made up of a few (2-20) nucleotides. In molecular genetics, they refer to a short sequence synthesized to match a region where a mutation is known to occur, and then used as a probe (OLIGONUCLEOTIDE PROBES). (Dorland, 28th ed) Oligonucleotide
D004951 Esterification The process of converting an acid into an alkyl or aryl derivative. Most frequently the process consists of the reaction of an acid with an alcohol in the presence of a trace of mineral acid as catalyst or the reaction of an acyl chloride with an alcohol. Esterification can also be accomplished by enzymatic processes. Esterifications
D013237 Stereoisomerism The phenomenon whereby compounds whose molecules have the same number and kind of atoms and the same atomic arrangement, but differ in their spatial relationships.
