Abstract

The conversion of four 5′-O-(4, 4′-dimethoxytrityl)-2′-deoxyribonucleoside 3′-H- phosphonates 1 (B= 4, 5, 6 and 7) into their partially-protected nucleoside precursors 3 (B= 4, 5, 6 and 7, respectively) in good isolated yields is described. The procedure used is also suitable for the dephosphonylation of protected oligonucleotide H-phosphonate blocks.
