A total of eight 3′-<i>O</i>-caged dNTPs are synthesized with specific protocols depending on the nitrogenous base on the first carbon, i.e., adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine, as well as the photo-cleavable group, i.e, 2-nitrobenzyl and 4,5- dimethoxy-2-nitrobenzyl, to be attached in the 3′-<i>O</i> position. The purification of the synthesized compounds is done using ion-exchange and flash chromatography; this is followed by structural confirmation by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectroscopy (MS). The efficiency of the designed compounds is tested by conducting and evaluating UV-cleaving experiments at 365 nm with proton NMR and LC-MS curves. Finally, the application of the 3′-<i>O</i>-cagged dNTPs in template-independent, enzyme-catalyzed, photo-mediated oligonucleotide synthesis is demonstrated. © 2017 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.</p>","PeriodicalId":10966,"journal":{"name":"Current Protocols in Nucleic Acid Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/cpnc.41","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"35686182","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
