General description

Activator solution, containing powerful activators like 4,5-dicyanoimidazole(DCI), 5-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-1H-tetrazole (Activator 42) or5-(Ethylthio)-1H-tetrazole (ETT) in acetonitrile, are mixed with solutions of phosphoramidites during the extension step. The activator reacts with the amidite group to form a highly reactive intermediate. The intermediate then forms an internucleotide bond with the detritylated 5′hydroxyl group of the growing oligonucleotide chain.BTT Activator 0.3M is 5-(Benzylthio)-1H-tetrazole.
