Abstract
A method for synthesizing sulfurized oligonucleotide analogs, such as phosphorothioate and phosphorodithioate analogs, is provided that employs a thiophosphorus compound, such as a thiophosphoric, dithiophosphoric, thiophosphinic, or dithiophosphinic acid disulfide or polysulfide, 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 phosophoramidite and/or phosphorthioamidite intermediates.
