Abstract

The present invention is directed to a method of synthesizing sulfurized oligonucleotide analogs by reacting an oligonucleotide analog containing a phosphorous(III) linkage with a dithiocarbonic acid diester polysulfide having the formula to produce a sulfurized oligonucleotide analog. The diester polysulfide reagent is useful in solution and solid phase oligonucleotide analog synthesis.
