Novel Photoacid Generators for Photodirected Oligonucleotide Synthesis
摘要:
Photodirected oligonucleotide synthesis uses either direct or indirect light-dependent 5'deprotection. Both have been reported to give lower stepwise synthetic yields than conventional methods. The deficiency appears to be due to incomplete deprotection at the, oligonucleotide 5'-position and, additionally in the case where photodirection is indirect and uses photogenerated photoacid to effect 5'-detritylation, the depurinating effects of strong acid. We have developed novel photosensitive-2-nitrobenzyl esters that on irradiation with near UV light generate alpha-chloro-substituted acetic acids, such as trichloroacetic acid, which are widely and successfully used in conventional solid-phase oligonucleotide synthesis. alpha-Phenyl-4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrobenzyltrichloroacetate and alpha-phenyl-4,5-dimethoxy-2,6-dinitrobenzyltrichloroacetate showed appropriate photochemical characteristics and were used for photodirected synthesis of a variety of oligonucleotides, including (T)(5), TATAT, TGTGT, (T)(10), (AT)(5), (CT)(5) (GT)(5), and (TGCAT)(2) on a modified Millipore Expedite DNA synthesizer. The outcomes were compared with those obtained by use of directly added trichloroacetic acid (conventional synthesis). The stepwise yields for the two methods were essentially identical.

tridentate ZinCast-1 utilizes a bis-pyridin-2-ylmethyl-aniline ligand that forms a 5,5-chelate ringuponmetalbinding. The related photocages ZinCast-2 with a N-[2-(pyridine-2-yl)ethyl]-N-(pyridine-2-ylmethyl)aniline (5,6-chelate ring) and ZinCast-3 with a N,N-bis[2-(pyridine-2-yl)ethyl]aniline (6,6-chelate ring) were synthesized for comparative studies. The complexes formed by the ions Cu2+, Zn2+ and
Compounds which are capable of generating acid on photolysis are disclosed, and the uses of these compounds, especially for deprotecting the termini of nucleic acid molecules or peptides during synthesis of arrays. The compounds described herein may be employed in the detritylation of 5′-O-dimethoxytrityl (DMT) protected nucleotides by photolysing the compounds to generate an acid capable of removing the DMT group allowing oligonucleotide arrays to be synthesised using readily available 5′-O-DMT-nucleoside-3′-O-phosphoramidite monomers conventionally used in solid phase nucleic acid synthesis. A method of avoiding the effects of stray light in projection lithography techniques is also disclosed.
