Abstract
Utilization of a (3-carboxy)propionyl spacer for the cellulose acetate polymer-support, a comparative study of 2-cyanoethyl and diphenylcarbamoyl protecting groups for the O 6-position of the guanosine unit, protecting groups for 1-β-D-ribofur-anosylthymine (rT) and pseudouridine (Ψ) is described in connection with the syntheses of oligoribonucleotides, i.e., a tridecamer, ApAp-GpGpApApApApUpUpApUpG, and a dodecamer, UpCpCpGpGprTp-ΨpGpApUpU.
