<p>The compounds are exemplified by the class of sulfoethyl oxygen-substituted carbamates, such compounds being useful as support reagents for automated polynucleotide synthesis of 3'-nitrogen functionalized polynucleotides. The invention includes, in one aspect, a polynucleotide synthesis reagent having the structure: <IMAGE> where T is an acid-cleavable hydroxyl protecting group, e.g., 4,4'-dimethoxytritil; Q is a linker connecting the nitrogen and oxygen, e.g., n-hexyl; R1 is a nitrogen substituent, e.g., hydrogen; R2 through R4 are separately hydrogen or lower alkyl; Y is an atom which is electronegative with respect to carbon, e.g., oxygen or sulfur; X1 is an atom which is electronegative with respect to carbon, e.g., sulfone; Z is a bond or spacer arm, e.g., ethylsuccinate; and W is a derivatized solid synthesis support capable of linking to Z, e.g., an amino-dirivitized controlled pore glass. In a second aspect, the present invention includes a polynucleotide synthesis reagent having the structure: <IMAGE> where T, Q, R1, R2-R3, X2, Z, and W are as defined above.</p> |
