  • Patent number: 11897914
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present application relate to the preparation of 2?-O-protected nucleoside phosphoramidites and conjugation of the 2?-O-protected nucleoside to a solid support. More specifically, the present application relates to nucleosides having a hydroxy protecting group at the 2? position that reduces migration to the 3? position during RNA (e.g., mRNA) synthesis and can be readily removed under mild conditions without the use of toxic metal-containing reagents. Methods of using the nucleosides described herein in RNA synthesis are also disclosed.
