DMT group

One friend said that he participated in a DMT group excursion in which several people linked hands and had a guide verbally take them on a trip. The entire dream team went back to the beginning of the universe and together experienced the formation of planets and other celestial bodies, and experienced the birth of humanity. He also had a dream of a DMT experience that seemed to access the same doors as the original DMT experience. Perhaps once the brain is primed, subsequent trips to the DMTverse can be made simply through dreams. My friend says,... 

The reaction results in a phosphite triester which is oxidized to a phosphodiester by flushing the column with iodine. Subsequently the DMT group is removed from the second nucleotide with 80% acetic add (detritylation) in preparation for reaction with the next DPA-activated monomer. This cycle continues until the oligonucleotide is complete, and it is capable of generating sequences of up to 150 residues. 

At this stage, the terminal 5 -DMT group may be retained or removed, depending on choice of subsequent purification method. The crude product is... 

After purification the DMT group from the oligonucleotide is removed by acid treatment, such as, acetic acid or some other milder acid in aqueous solution. After final detritylation, the salts if excessive are removed via precipitation, and then the product is lyophilized. Several process improvements have been tried and implemented to enable processing at the kilogram scale in our GMP facilities.1,47... 

Bis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonic acid esters that incorporated thymine were employed as a backbone to prepare short oligonucleotide chains. This chain was prepared by condensation of the bis(4,4 -dimethoxytrityl) protected phosphonic acid and iV or N -(2-hydroxyethyl)thymine in the presence of l-(2-mesitylenesul-fonyl)-3-nitro-l,2,4-triazole or by an Appel reaction with or N -(2-aminoethyl)thymine (89a-h). Selective removal of one DMT-group and phos-phitylation yielded the building blocks for solid supported synthesis of the short oligomers by the phosphoramidite approach. Holy has reported the synthesis of 8-amino and 8-substituted amino derivatives of acyclic purine nucleotide analogues. The 8-amino, 8-methylamino- and 8-dimethylamino-adenine and -guanine analogues of iV-(2-phosphonomethoxyethyl) and (S)-iV-(3-hydroxy-2-phosphono-methoxy-propyl) derivatives of purines (90a-i), were prepared by... 

A new method for the removal of the 5 -0-DMT group during the synthesis of ODNs on a microarray has been studied" which uses all the steps involved in phosphoramidite synthesis, but uses a photogenerated acid (PGA) rather than trichloroacetic acid to deprotect. The photolabile 3 -0- [2-(2-nitrophenyl)propoxy]carbonyl -protected 5 -phosphoramidites (5) have been prepared for the 5 ->3 light-directed synthesis of DNA on microarrays." Developments for the synthesis of high-density DNA probe arrays employ nucleoside monomers protected with 5 -(a-methyl-6-nitropiperonyloxycarbonyl) (MeN-POC) with proximity photolithography, which is currently capable of printing 10 m probe features at a density of 10 probes/cm.

The E-DMT group is similar to the 0-DMT group except that there is a two-carhon spacer joining the aryl rings. It is introduced using the bischloride in pyridine and will protect thymidine in 65% yield. ... 

Selective cleavage of the DMT group from oxygen is accomplished with 80% aq. AcOH (rt, 10 min), whereas selective cleavage of the DMT group from the thiol is effected with AgNOs /NaOAc buffer (rt, 1 min). ... 

Two building blocks, derived from glycerol (27) and cis,cfs-l,3,5-cyclohexane-triol (28) have been prepared for the synthesis of ODNs with a 3 -3 linkage." The building blocks allow for either symmetric or asymmetric ODN synthesis for asymmetric synthesis, removal of the DMT group allows for first strand synthesis which is then capped with benzoyl chloride. Removal of the silyl protecting group then allows second strand synthesis. 

The acidic nature of HFIP was used for deprotection of the DMT group of 17 with acid-sensitive nucleotides (Scheme 4.9) [44]. Similarly, the alcohol was used as the catalytic solvent for Diels-Alder reaction of acid-sensitive acrolein (Scheme 4.9) [45].

A 5 -OH-group is released by acid cleavage of the DMT-group B Substitution of the N(iPr)2-group by the 5 -OHgroup is catalyzed by l//-tetrazole C Unreacted 5 -OH-functional groups are capped by catalyzed acetylation D Cyanoethyl-phosphite is oxidized by iodine E Oligomer is cleaved from spacer by concentrated ammonium hydroxide solution and kept at 55 °C for 8 h for complete deprotection.
