In connection with the synthesis of guanosine-capped of oligodeoxynucleotides on polymer supports, we found an unprecedented Si-O bond cleavage reaction, which occurred when polymer-linked oligodeoxynucleoticles having unprotected internucleotidic phosphate groups were allowed to react with the guanosine 5'-phosphorimidazolide derivative 18 in the presence of 4-nitro-6-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-benzotriazol-1-ol (Ntbt-OH) as an effective activator in pyridine. This side reaction was confirmed by the fact that the liquid-phase reaction of DMTrTpT-O-Si(iPr(2))OEt 42 with a simpler model compound. methyl phosphorimidazolide 34. in the presence of Ntbt-OH gave DMTrTpT 43. It turned out that the side reaction hardly occurs without unprotected internucleotidic phosphate groups on oligodeoxyriucleotides. The detailed study of this side reaction disclosed that Ntbt-OH directly attacks the Si-atom to release oligonucleotides from the resin. It is likely that Ntbt-OH serves as a very strong nucleophile in pyridine, especially to the Si-atom of the linker.
