The 2-(methylthio)phenylthiomethyl (MPTM) group was developed as a new type of 2'-hydroxyl protecting group in oligoribonucleotide synthesis. The building monomer units of uridine and cytidine for the phosphotriester approach were synthesized from 2'-O-(1,3-benzodithiol-2-yl)-3',5'-O- (1,1,3,3-tetraisopropyldisiloxan-1,3-diyl)uridine and successfully utilized for the synthesis of CpUpG.
