Synthesis of Antisense Oligonucleotides:  Replacement of 3H-1,2-Benzodithiol-3-one 1,1-Dioxide (Beaucage Reagent) with Phenylacetyl Disulfide (PADS) As Efficient Sulfurization Reagent:  From Bench to Bulk Manufacture of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient

Abstract: It is demonstrated that phosphorothioate oligodeoxyribonucleotides can be synthesized on scales from 1 μmol to 150 mmol using phenylacetyl disulfide (PADS) as an efficient and economical replacement for Beaucage reagent. A 0.2 M solution of PADS in a mixture of 3-picoline and acetonitrile (1:1 v/v) as solvent with 60−120 s contact time efficiently (>99.6%) sulfurizes phosphite triesters to phosphorothioate triester linkages. Phenylacetyl disulfide reagent is inexpensive and scaleable and is currently being use… Show more

“…The methods currently applied to preparation of oligonucleotides in the laboratory [ 1 , 2 ] as well as in large-scale production [ 3 , 4 , 5 ], consist of stepwise addition of nucleoside phosphoramidites to a growing oligomer chain on a solid support. While solid-supported phosphoramidite chemistry undoubtedly is the method of choice for small-scale synthesis of oligonucleotides, solution phase synthesis may well challenge it in cases where multikilogram quantities are needed for clinical phase trials of therapeutic oligonucleotides or as starting materials for the construction of nanomaterials.…”

“…These products were immediately hydrolyzed by addition of approximately 2 equiv of aqueous triethylammonium bicarbonate (TEAB) to give the H -phosphonate 16 . Treatment of 16 with approximately 4 equiv of phenylacetyl disulfide (PADS) [ 57 ] gave the known dinucleoside phosphorothioate 17 [ 26 , 58 ].…”

“…0.2 M PADS in 1:1 3-picoline/CH 3 CN were used as a sulfurization reagent with 3 minutes contact time. [16] A solution of tertbutyl hydroperoxide/acetonitrile/water (10:87:3) was used to oxidize inter nucleosidic phosphite to phosphate. The step-wise coupling efficiencies were more than 97%.…”
