Phosphoramidite derivatives are fundamental building blocks, particularly used in DNA and RNA synthesis.
- Structural Features: Contain a 3′-OH protecting group and a phosphoramidite functional group; they are core reagents in solid-phase DNA synthesis.
- Performance: High coupling efficiency, low byproduct formation, and controlled chain elongation.
- Applications:
- Oligonucleotide synthesis
- Production of chemically modified DNA/RNA
- Synthesis of fluorescent- or probe-labeled nucleotides
- Advantages: High purity, reproducible synthesis performance, and broad modification options.
