Studies on Nucleotide Chemistry 15. Synthesis of Oligodeoxynucleotides Using Amidine Protected Nucleosides

Abstract
An in situ method is described for synthesizing DNA which incorporates a new series of amidine protected deoxy-nucleosides and bis-dialkylaminophosphines as phosphitylating agents. These procedures were used to synthesize d(GGGAATTCCC) which was digested by EcoRI.
