ABSTRACT

Cyanogen bromide has been found to induce the template-guided condensation of oligonucleotides only in the presence of N-substituted morpholines. Based on 31P, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy data, the mechanism of the phosphomonoester group activation by cyanogen bromide in N-substituted morpholine buffers is suggested. It has also been shown that BrCN can be used for the synthesis of oligonucleotide derivatives in aqueous solution.
