Abstract
The invention provides a novel cleavage reagent for hydrolysing base-labile linking groups between a solid phase support and oligonucleotides. The cleavage reagent comprises a lower alkyl alcohol, water, and a non-nuccleophilic hindered alkylamine containing from 3 to 6 carbon atoms in a ratio of about 1:1:1 to about 1:3:1, respectively. An important property of the cleavage reagent is that it preserves the fluorescent characteristics of rhodamine dyes during cleavage, thereby making it possible to completely synthesize rhodamine-labeled oligonucleotides by solid phase methods. Rhodamine phosphoramidites are provided to further enhance the efficiency of synthesizing rhodamine-labeled oligonucleotides by such methods.
