摘要 |
A method for synthesizing sulfurized oligonucleotide analogs, such as phosphorothioate and phosphorodithioate analogs, is provided that employs a thiuram disulfide as a sulfurizing agent. The method of the invention may be used to sulfurize any phosphorous(III)-containing intermediate. Preferably, the method is practiced on a commercial DNA synthesizer using phosphoramidite and/or phosphorthioamidite intermediates.
