O-selective condensation using P-N bond cleavage in RNA synthesis without base protection.
In RNA synthesis without base protection, a new method for O-selective condensation with more than 99% selectivity was developed by 6-nitro-HOBt-mediated cleavage of undesired P(III)-N bonds on nucleobase moieties. Moreover, we for the first time succeeded in synthesizing oligoRNAs without base protection.
