ABSTRACT
A new solution-phase phosphoramidite approach is reported for oligonucleotide synthesis employing recyclable solid-supported reagents. It uses polyvinyl pyridinium tosylate as the activator of a nucleoside-3'-O-phosphoramidite in the coupling step with a 5'-OH nucleoside or dinucleotide. The resulting phosphite triester was either sulfurized or oxidized using polystyrene-bound trimethylammonium tetrathionate or periodiate. This method avoids complicated purification steps, as excess reagents are easily removed by filtration. [reaction: see text]
