Developed by Marvin Carruthers, U. Colorado in 1982

The Detritylation Step 5’ protecting group is removed with TCA
or DCA in DCM (3% w/v). There is now a hydroxyl at the 5’
carbon, which will react with the next base to be added.

The Coupling (Activation) Step
To react with the free hydroxyl of the first base, phosphoramidites are reacted with a weak acid,generally 1-H-tetrazole, ETT or DCI.
The acidic conditions protonate the dialkylamino group and then tetrazole attacks as a nucleophile generating the reactive tetrazolophosphane intermediate.
The result is a phosphite triester bond formed between the first and second bases.

The Capping Step The coupling step is not 100% efficient. Need to stop the elongation of sequences that
are missing bases, e.g. failure sequences. This is done by capping the free hydroxyls
through acetylation, making these sequences terminally unreactive.
Capping is in two steps: acetic anhydride and lutidine to form the cap and N-methylimidazole to form the reactive intermediate.

The Oxidation Step
After the capping step is done, the unstable phosphite triester is oxidized to the stable phosphate triester.
Iodine acts as the oxidant with water providing a hydroxyl.
This step must occur after capping because acetic anhydride will react with trace amounts of water to form acetic acid.

Deprotection and CleavageColumn Oligo
The N-benzoyl and isobutyryl protecting groups are removed completely by treatment with 9N ammonia in 8 hours at 55° C or 90 minutes at 70° C.
Fast Deprotect can occur in 15 minutes at 50° C temperature…
Simultaneously, the first base is cleaved from the solid support.

Deprotection & CleavageChip Synthesis
Deprotection and Cleave• Deprotection– same as normal, aminolysis with either
ammonium hydroxide or AMA, regulated by amidites for Oligo Pools. EDA/EtOH for Microarray
• For Oligo Pools Cleave from Chip – If the oligos are for pooled applications they are cleaved during aminolysis. The chip contains a cleavable linker (same as with column based synthesis).

Acetonitrile/ Diluent
Used to re-suspend amidites and wash. Supply one grade of Acetonitrile: <10ppm.
• Need to use only 10ppm or less.
Low water content ensures quality synthesis, should also use MolSieves.
Water will cause precipitation of dG.

CPG Basics
Controlled Pore Glass is essentially glass shavings that have a nucleoside based or universal group attached through linker and amine chemistry
Typically characterized by two methods• Pore Size• Nucleoside Loading
Occasionally characterized by mesh size.

CPG Pore Size
Refers to the space between the individual shavings of the CPG particles.
Common Pore Sizes• 500 Angstroms (Standard Pore Size)• 1000 Angstroms (Long Pore Size)• 2000 Angstroms (Extra Long Pore Size)

CPG Loading
Loading refers to the amount of nucleoside base bound to the CPG particles.• Commonly expressed as mmols/mg.• Using this unit of measure, one can
calculate the correct amount of CPG to load within a column or plate.

F.A.Q.’s
![Page 70: Azco Biotech, Inc. Synthesis Training July, 2011.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649dbb5503460f94aac3bf/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
Common Issues (Misconceptions)
Coupling is always regulated by reagents and water kills coupling
Average coupling efficiency is ~99%, order of efficiency T > A > C > G, so a long run of Gs will result in low quality synthesis, this dictates yield
Specialty molecules have much lower coupling efficiencies (~80 to 90%),
Purification is application dependent Synthesis is ALWAYS 3’ to 5’, can simply
purification by remembering this!

![Page 71: Azco Biotech, Inc. Synthesis Training July, 2011.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649dbb5503460f94aac3bf/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Are the SNA reagents for use on all Oligo Synthesizers?
Yes, providing we have the follow input from the customer:• What synthesizer do you own?• What activator solutions do you use?• What packaging do you prefer?
![Page 72: Azco Biotech, Inc. Synthesis Training July, 2011.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649dbb5503460f94aac3bf/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
What is the shelf life of the SNA Products?
Assuming that the products were stored properly:• For most phosphoramidites, five years dry.• For reconstituted phosphoramidites:
DNA and RNA amidites between 8-10 days. For specialty amidites 3-6 days.
• For the liquid reagents, one year.• For the solid supports, five years. It is highly unusual for us or the customer to keep
these materials for long periods of time.
![Page 73: Azco Biotech, Inc. Synthesis Training July, 2011.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649dbb5503460f94aac3bf/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
What are these crystals in my dG-CE amidite?
dG amidite can crystallize under three conditions:• High water content of the ACN diluent.• High water content of the amidite itself.• A long period of reconstitution.
![Page 74: Azco Biotech, Inc. Synthesis Training July, 2011.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649dbb5503460f94aac3bf/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Can I Swap Out the Different Activator Solutions?
ETT, DCI, 5-BMT and 1-H-tet solutions generally are interchangeable.
ETT and DCI are slightly more acidic than 1-H-tet• Better for RNA synthesis.• Better for longer oligo synthesis.
![Page 75: Azco Biotech, Inc. Synthesis Training July, 2011.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649dbb5503460f94aac3bf/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
My trityl monitor is showing low coupling efficiency.
The phosphoramidite lines may be clogged.• Crystals in the amidite.
Water in the diluent.Long term placement of the synthesizer.
The column is clogged.
The instrument may have issues.

The bottles you sent don’t fit my machine
Different instruments utilize bottles with different neck sizes.
This problem comes about when either the customer is unfamiliar with our catalog numbers or we don’t know what instrument they own.• Occasionally occurs with new customers.
![Page 77: Azco Biotech, Inc. Synthesis Training July, 2011.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649dbb5503460f94aac3bf/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
I am having issues with base deamination in my oligo.
They oxidizer solution is too strong.• Switch to 0.02M oxidizer.
Reduce the cleavage and deprotection times.
Reduce the cleavage and deprotection temperatures.

My long oligo synthesis yielded very little material
This may actually be appropriate for the sequence.
Questions to ask:• Are you using a 1.0mmol or greater
synthesis scale?• Are you using long CPG?• Did you try to purify the material?
