Abstract

The invention provides new methods for synthesizing oligonucleotides that allow for deprotection of the oligonucleotides under more mild conditions than existing methods. The invention further provides a nucleoside base protecting group that is stable under oligonucleotide synthesis conditions, but which can be removed under more mild conditions than existing protecting groups, as well as nucleoside synthons having such base protecting groups.
