[structure: see text] Nucleoside phosphoramidites bearing a fluorous dimethoxytrityl (FDMT) group were used to synthesize fluorous-tagged oligonucleotides, which were subjected to solid-phase extraction using a pH-stable fluorinated adsorbent. On-column detritylation afforded the purified oligonucleotides. The fluorous affinity purification method offers one-pass loading without ammonia removal, high selectivity for the removal of failure sequences, high recoveries (typically 70-100%), and the ability to purify long oligonucleotides (e.g., 50-100-mers).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
