Acetal Levulinyl Ester (ALE) Groups for 2′-Hydroxyl Protection of Ribonucleosides in the Synthesis of Oligoribonucleotides on Glass and Microarrays
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We describe a synthetic strategy that permits both the growth and deprotection of RNA chains that remain attached to a solid polymer support or chip surface. The key synthons for RNA synthesis are novel 5'-O-DMTr 2'-acetal levulinyl ester (2'-O-ALE) ribonucleoside 3'-phosphoramidite derivatives. In the presence of 4,5-dicyanoimidazole (DCI) as the activator, these monomers coupled to Q-CPG solid support with excellent coupling efficiency (approximately 98.7%). The method was extended to the light directed synthesis of poly rU and poly rA on a microarray through the use of a 5'-O-(2-(2-nitrophenyl)propoxycarbonyl)-2'-O-ALE-3'-phosphoramidite derivative. A two-stage deprotection strategy was employed to fully deblock the RNA directly on the Q-CPG or microarray support without releasing it from the support's surface: phosphate group deblocking with NEt(3) in acetonitrile (ACN) (2:3 v/v; 1 h, r.t.) followed by removal of the 2'-O-ALE groups under mild hydrazinolysis conditions (0.5-4 h, r.t.). This last treatment also removed the levulinyl (Lv) group on adenine (N(6)) and cytosine (N(4)) and the dimethylformamidine (dmf) group on guanine (N(2)). The chemistry and methods described here pave the way to the fabrication of microarrays of immobilized RNA probes for analyzing molecular interactions of biological interest.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
