Physical & Dilution Data
Dilution volumes (in ml) are for 0.1M solutions in dry acetonitrile (LK4050). Adjust accordingly for other concentrations. For µmol pack sizes, products should be diluted as 100µmol/ml to achieve 0.1M, regardless of molecular weight.

Coupling & Deprotection using CPR or the 3’-Phosphate CPGs
Note that LK2101 and LK2110 must be dissolved in acetonitrile at least 10min prior to placing on the synthesiser.
5’-Phosphorylation
The CPR (LK2101) is coupled and deprotected using standard instrument conditions. Note that the DMTr-group is lost during ammonium hydroxide deprotection and thus is not available for cartridge purification. For 5’-phosphorylation 2101 is coupled in the final step of the synthesis as with other 5’-modifications. The DMTr group is used to give an indication of the coupling efficiency.
3’-Phosphorylation
In addition, LK2101 can also be used for simple phosphorylation of the 3’-terminus. To do this it is introduced as the first addition to the solid support, followed by synthesis of the oligo (any convenient support can be used since the support-bound nucleotide is not incorporated into the sequence). After standard deprotection, the linkage decomposes and is ß-eliminated leaving a phosphate group at the 3’-end. The final DMTr group may be removed on the synthesiser or it may be retained to aid purification. If retained, it can be removed on a purification cartridge or, following purification, by treatment with acetic acid:water (80:20) at room temperature for 1h.
Alternatively, direct preparation of oligos with a 3’-phosphate can be achieved using 3’-Phosphate CPG (LK2279 and LK2398) or polystyrene (LK2389). These supports are used in a manner identical to standard protected nucleoside supports. Cleavage and deprotection of the oligos synthesised with these modifications is as per the standard bases of the oligo. However, to complete the ß-elimination of the sulphonyl diethanol group to form the phosphate heat is required. The minimum deprotection conditions are AMA for 35min at 55°C.
Compatibility with RNA
The phosphorylation reagents (LK2101, LK2279, LK2389 and LK2398) are all compatible with TBDMS and TC RNA chemistries, but the DEA wash needs to be eliminated from the cleavage and deprotection step in both cases. The addition of the terminal phosphate adds protection against nucleases to the RNA.
Coupling & Deprotection using solidCPR™ & CPR II
The use of solidCPR™ (LK2127) or CPR II (LK2110) has advantages over CPR (LK2101) and as such have a distinct protocols. Standard CPR protocols cannot be used as this will lead to poor results. LK2127 and LK2110 are coupled in the final step in the synthesis using a 6min coupling time. If wishing to remove the DMTr group, a second deblock step is recommended.
Deprotection & Cleavage DMT OFF in Solution
The support, after detritylation, is treated using standard deprotection and cleavage conditions. All deprotection and cleavage conditions in current regular use, including fast deprotection, will release the terminal free phosphate. The two most suitable options are either ammonium hydroxide solution for 4h at 55˚C or AMA for 2h at RT. After this cleavage and deprotection step the free 5’ phosphate is obtained.
DMT ON Cartridge Purification and Deprotection
The sequence with a 5’-DMTr group is purified, after synthesis and base deprotection, using a modified protocol for cartridge purification. After detritylation on the cartridge by treatment with 2% aqueous trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) the final phosphorylated sequence is obtained via the following steps:
- Prepare a stock solution of either 50mM potassium carbonate, pH 12/1M NaCl or 50mM sodium hydroxide/1M NaCl. Approximately 2ml will be required for a standard size cartridge.
- Neutralise the residual TFA on the column by passing approx. 0.5ml of the stock solution through the cartridge fairly rapidly (over ca. 10s).
- Then gradually pass the remainder of the stock solution through the column in aliquots over a period of 20min.
- Wash the cartridge with water (2ml).
- Elute the purified phosphorylated oligo with 20% aqueous acetonitrile (1-3ml depending on the size of the cartridge).
Storage & Stability
Store products in a freezer dry at –10 to -30°C. Use LK2101 or LK2110 solutions within 24h. 2127 is stable in solution for 2-3 days.
