Notes:
Dinucleoside monophosphates bearing usual protecting groups at the exocyclic amino functions of the heterocyclic bases, the 5′-hydroxy group, the phosphate moiety and the O-6-position of the guanine ring have been analysed by FAB mass specrometry in the negative ion mode. These non-charged key intermediates for oligodeoxynucleotide synthesis exhibit very simple spectra in the mass range of m/z 400-1500 using tetra-ethylene glycol as matrix. Most of the observed ions could easily be assigned. Apart from deprotonated molecular ions sequence specific ions arising from C-O-P bond cleavage and ions derived from loss of protecting groups were observed. The simplicity of spectra interpretation makes FAB mass spectrometry to a rapid and valuable tool for unambiguous identification of dimeric synthons for oligonucleotide synthesis.
