Abstract

A process for preparing a phosphodiester of the formula: ##STR1## is described that involves (1) reaction of a first alcohol with phosphorous trichloride to form a phosphorodichlorodite, (2) reaction of the phosphorodichlorodite with an amine to form a phosphorodiamidite, (3) reaction with a second alcohol (which may be the same as the first alcohol) to form a phosphoramidite diester, and finally, (4) hydrolysis and oxidation of the phosphoramidite to form the phosphodiester. R and R1 may represent aliphatic, aromatic, heterocyclic, peptidic, peptoid, deoxyribo- or ribonucleotidic or nucleosidic, or organic chelating moieties.
