On-demand synthesis of phosphoramidites.

ABSTRACT: Automated chemical synthesis of oligonucleotides is of fundamental importance for the production of primers for the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), for oligonucleotide-based drugs, and for numerous other medical and biotechnological applications. The highly optimised automised chemical oligonucleotide synthesis relies upon phosphoramidites as the phosphate precursors and one of the drawbacks of this technology is the poor bench stability of phosphoramidites. Here, we report on the development of an on-demand flow synthesis of phosphoramidites from their corresponding alcohols, which is accomplished with short reaction times, near-quantitative yields and without the need of purification before being submitted directly to automated oligonucleotide synthesis. Sterically hindered as well as redox unstable phosphoramidites are synthesised using this methodology and the subsequent couplings are near-quantitative for all substrates. The vision for this technology is direct integration into DNA synthesisers thereby omitting manual synthesis and storage of phosphoramidites.

Tandem oligonucleotide synthesis using linker phosphoramidites.

Project description:Multiple oligonucleotides of the same or different sequence, linked end-to-end in tandem can be synthesized in a single automated synthesis. A linker phosphoramidite [R. T. Pon and S. Yu (2004) Nucleic Acids Res., 32, 623-631] is added to the 5'-terminal OH end of a support-bound oligonucleotide to introduce a cleavable linkage (succinic acid plus sulfonyldiethanol) and the 3'-terminal base of the new sequence. Conventional phosphoramidites are then used for the rest of the sequence. After synthesis, treatment with ammonium hydroxide releases the oligonucleotides from the support and cleaves the linkages between each sequence. Mixtures of one oligonucleotide with both 5'- and 3'-terminal OH ends and other oligonucleotides with 5'-phosphorylated and 3'-OH ends are produced, which are deprotected and worked up as a single product. Tandem synthesis can be used to make pairs of PCR primers, sets of cooperative oligonucleotides or multiple copies of the same sequence. When tandem synthesis is used to make two self-complementary sequences, double-stranded structures spontaneously form after deprotection. Tandem synthesis of oligonucleotide chains containing up to six consecutive 20mer (120 bases total), various trinucleotide codons and primer pairs for PCR, or self-complementary strands for in situ formation of double-stranded DNA fragments has been demonstrated.

Synthesis of 5'-Thio-3'-O-ribonucleoside Phosphoramidites.

Project description:The chemical synthesis of phosphoramidite derivatives of all four 5'-deoxy-5'-thioribonucleosides is described. These phosphoramidites contained trityl (A, G, C, and U), dimethoxytrityl (A and G), or tert-butyldisulfanyl (G) as the 5'-S-protecting group. The application of several of these phosphoramidites for solid-phase synthesis of oligoribonucleotides containing a 2'-O-photocaged 5'-S-phosphorothiolate linkage or 5'-thiol-labeled RNAs is also further investigated.

Synthesis of phosphoramidites of isoGNA, an isomer of glycerol nucleic acid.

Project description:IsoGNA, an isomer of glycerol nucleic acid GNA, is a flexible (acyclic) nucleic acid with bases directly attached to its linear backbone. IsoGNA exhibits (limited) base-pairing properties which are unique compared to other known flexible nucleic acids. Herein, we report on the details of the preparation of isoGNA phosphoramidites and an alternative route for the synthesis of the adenine derivative. The synthetic improvements described here enable an easy access to isoGNA and allows for the further exploration of this structural unit in oligonucleotide chemistry thereby spurring investigations of its usefulness and applicability.

A Study on Synthesis and Upscaling of 2'-O-AECM-5-methyl Pyrimidine Phosphoramidites for Oligonucleotide Synthesis.

Project description:2'-O-(N-(Aminoethyl)carbamoyl)methyl-modified 5-methyluridine (AECM-MeU) and 5-methylcytidine (AECM-MeC) phosphoramidites are reported for the first time and prepared in multigram quantities. The syntheses of AECM-MeU and AECM-MeC nucleosides are designed for larger scales (approx. 20 g up until phosphoramidite preparation steps) using low-cost reagents and minimizing chromatographic purifications. Several steps were screened for best conditions, focusing on the most crucial steps such as N3 and/or 2'-OH alkylations, which were improved for larger scale synthesis using phase transfer catalysis (PTC). Moreover, the need of chromatographic purifications was substantially reduced by employing one-pot synthesis and improved work-up strategies.

Synthesis of <i>N</i> <sup>4</sup>-acetylated 3-methylcytidine phosphoramidites for RNA solid-phase synthesis.

Project description:The growing interest in 3-methylcytidine (m3C) originates from the recent discoveries of m3C modified tRNAs in humans as well as its intensively debated occurrence in mRNA. Moreover, m3C formation can be catalyzed by RNA without the assistance of proteins as has been demonstrated for a naturally occurring riboswitch fold using the methylated form of its cognate ligand as cofactor. Additionally, new RNA sequencing methods have been developed to detect this modification in transcriptome-wide manner. For all these reasons, an increasing demand for synthetic m3C containing oligoribonucleotides is emerging. Their chemical synthesis relies on RNA solid-phase synthesis using phosphoramidite building blocks. Here, we describe a facile synthetic path towards N4-acetylated 2'-O-TBDMS- and 2'-O-TOM m3C phosphoramidites to provide an optimal toolbox for solid-phase synthesis of m3C containing RNA.Graphical abstractSupplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s00706-022-02896-x.

An Unconventional Acid-Labile Nucleobase Protection Concept for Guanosine Phosphoramidites in RNA Solid-Phase Synthesis.

Project description:We present an innovative O6 -tert-butyl/N2 -tert-butyloxycarbonyl protection concept for guanosine?(G) phosphoramidites. This concept is advantageous for 2'-modified G building blocks because of very efficient synthetic access when compared with existing routes that usually employ O6 -(4-nitrophenyl)ethyl/N2 -acyl protection or that start from 2-aminoadenosine involving enzymatic transformation into guanosine later on in the synthetic path. The new phosphoramidites are fully compatible with 2'-O-tBDMS or TOM phosphoramidites in standard RNA solid-phase synthesis and deprotection, and provide excellent quality of tailored RNAs for the growing range of applications in RNA biophysics, biochemistry, and biology.

Novel method of synthesis of 5''-phosphate 2'-O-ribosyl-ribonucleosides and their 3'-phosphoramidites.

Project description:Synthesis of 5''-phosphate 2'-O-ribosylribonucleosides [Nr(p)] of four common ribonucleosides, and 3'-phosphoramidites of 5''-phosphate 2'-O-ribosyladenosine and 2'-O-ribosylguanosine using the H-phosphonate chemistry is described. An additional ring protected by benzoyl groups was incorporated into the main ribosyl ring in the reaction with 1-O-acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-ribofuranose in the presence of SnCl4. The obtained 2'-O-ribosylribonucleosides (Nr) were applied in the subsequent transformations with selective deprotection. Ethanolamine was applied as a very convenient reagent for selective removal of benzoyl groups. Additionally, the tetraisopropyldisiloxane-1,3-diyl (TIPDSi) group was found to be stable under these deprotection conditions. Thus, the selectively deprotected 5''-hydroxyl group of Nr was transformed into an H-phosphonate monoester which was found to be stable under the following conditions: the removal of the TIPDSi group with triethylammonium fluoride and the dimethoxytritylation of the 5''-hydroxyl function. The 5''-H-phosphonate of Nr precursors was easily transformed to the corresponding dicyanoethyl 5''-O-phosphotriesters before phosphitylation, which gave 3'-phosphoramidite units of Nr(p) in high yield. The derived phosphoramidite units were used in an automated oligonucleotide synthesizer to produce dimer Ar(p)T via the phosphoramidite approach. The obtained products were fully deprotected under standard deprotection conditions giving dimers with a 5''-phosphate monoester function. Application of an alkaline phosphatase to prove the presence of an additional phosphate group was described.

On demand synthesis of hollow fullerene nanostructures.

Project description:Hollow nanostructures are widely used in chemistry, materials, bioscience, and medicine, but their fabrication remains a great challenge. In particular, there is no effective strategy for their assembly and interconnection. We bring pottery, the oldest and simplest method of fabricating hollow containers, into the nanoscale. By exploiting the liquid nature of the xylene template, fullerene hollow nanostructures of tailored shapes, such as bowls, bottles, and cucurbits, are readily synthesized. The liquid templates permit stepwise and versatile manipulation and hence, modular assembly of nodes and junctions leads to interconnected hollow systems. As a proof-of-concept, we create multi-compartment nano-containers, with different nanoparticles isolated in the separate pockets. This methodology expands the synthetic freedom for hollow nanostructures, building a bridge from isolated hollow units to interconnected hollow systems.
