title: Chemical synthesis of natural and modified oligodeoxynucleotides.
abstract: This paper reports chemical synthesis of natural and modified oligodeoxynucleotides. In the first part after a short review of protective groups for the deoxynucleosides and for the phosphate groups, the different phosphorylating and coupling methods are listed and also the application fields for the different techniques (phosphotriester method in solution or solid-phase synthesis). The second part involves oligodeoxynucleotides in which phosphodiester groups are partially or fully replaced by alkylphosphotriester, phosphonate, phosphoramidate, phosphorothioate or phosphorothiolate groups. The last part describes synthesis of oligodeoxynucleotides bearing chemically reactive groups or an intercalating agent.
