title: A novel universal linker for efficient synthesis of phosphorothioate oligonucleotides.
abstract: A versatile and conformationally preorganized universal linker molecule is reported here for efficient synthesis of phosphorothioate oligonucleotides. With respect to nucleoside loaded support, comparable yield and quality based on ion-pair LC-MS are obtained for both deoxy and 2'-O-methoxyethyl modified phosphorothioate oligonucleotides. No 3'-phosphate or phosphorothioate monoester or any modification of universal molecule still attached to oligonucleotide was observed. [structure: see text]
