title: The 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) group and its use in oligonucleotide synthesis.
abstract: The introduction of the base-labile 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) group into the exocyclic amino function of 2'-deoxynucleosides and their dimethoxytritylation and phosphitylation is described. The resulting key intermediates were investigated in the built-up of different oligodeoxyribonucleoside phosphate and thiophosphate chains which were deprotected under mild basic conditions leading to crude oligomers of high purity.
