13. 13. After this work was completed, 9-fluorenemethyl H-phosphonothioate has been advocated by Caruthers et al. as a useful reagent for the introduction of the 5′-terminal phosphorodithioate function to oligonucleotides (see, Seeberger, P. H.; Jorgensen, P. N.; Bankaitisdavis, D. M.; Beaton, G.; Caruthers, M. H. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1996, 118, 9562-9566). The reported preparation of the reagent was, however, lengthy (a multi-step synthesis) and required several purification steps of the final product.

21. 21. In pyridine, apparently due to extended time of the reaction, the formation of 8a was accompanied by side products, which most likely resulted from the occurrence of the ligand exchange process in 5 under the reaction conditions.

23. 23. After removing the excess of ammonia and pyridine, the amount of side products considerably increased, indicating that the degradation of 8b also occurred during work-up (i.e. during concentration of the reaction mixture).
