A hydrocarbyldithiomethyl-modified compound of the Formula (1): R1-O--CH2-S- S- R2, or a salt thereof wherein R1 is an organic molecule and R2 is a hydrocarbyl, is useful for protecting and/or blocking hydroxyl groups in organic molecules such as nucleotides. The hydrocarbyldithiomethyl-modified compounds can also be used for chemically synthesizing oligonucleotides and for sequencing nucleic acid compounds.
