A new method is reported for the synthesis of oligodeoxyribonucleotides
containing 2-aminopurine residues at selected sites. This method involves
protection of the 2-aminopurine ribonucleoside, reduction to the
deoxyribonucleoside and standard preparation of the 5'-0- (4,4'-
dimethoxytrityl)-3'-O-(2-cyanoethyl)-N,N- diisopropylphosphoramidite. The
2-aminopurine phosphoramidite prepared by this method couples with high
efficiency and is stable under standard automated synthesis conditions. The
presence and location of the 2-aminopurine residue is easily verified by
treatment of the oligodeoxyribonucleotide with hot piperidine. The
mechanism for selective hydrolysis of the 2-aminopurine residue in alkaline
solution is predominantly direct cleave of the glycosidic bond.
