Introduction
Phosphorodiamidites are a unique class of phosphorus-based compounds characterized by one P–O bond and two P–N moieties. 2-Cyanoethyl tetraisopropylphosphorodiamidite plays a crucial role in solid-phase oligonucleotide synthesis. Beyond their application as synthetic precursors for oligonucleotides, phosphorodiamidites have also been reported as valuable starting materials for the synthesis of industrially relevant polymers and flame-resistant materials, including adhesives, coatings, and laminates.
Manufacture
Cyanoethanol is treated with excess PCl₃ to form the corresponding alkoxydichlorophosphine intermediate, which is subsequently reacted with diisopropylamine to yield 2-cyanoethyl tetraisopropylphosphorodiamidite. Alternatively, 3-trimethylsilanyloxypropionitrile can be reacted with PCl₃, followed by treatment with diisopropylamine, to obtain 2-cyanoethyl tetraisopropylphosphorodiamidite in good yields.
