Compounds for the protection of sulfur containing linkers in nucleic acid synthesis

摘要

Aromatic and alkyl thiocarbonates with and without a neighboring group that participates in the hydrolysis of a thiocarbonate are described. The aromatic or alkyl thiocarbonates can be used for the protection of sulfur during oligonucleotide synthesis. Their facile processes of manufacture and methods of using the same are provided.
