General description

The product is ~0.45M solution of tetrazole in acetonitrile. Tetrazole ring plays significant role in various synthetic and industrial processes.

Application

Tetrazole solution is useful for DNA synthesis. It may be employed as a catalyst for the in situ synthesis of deoxyribonucleoside phosphoramidites. It may be used in the preparation of following anionic nucleotide-lipids:
  • thymidine 3′-(1,2-dilauroyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate) , diC12-3′-dT
  • thymidine 3′-(1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate) diC14- 3′-dT
  • thymidine-3′-(1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate) diC16- 3′-dT

Other Notes

Catalyst used in the phosphite triester method of oligonucleotide synthesis for the coupling of (dialkylamino)phosphines

Disclaimer

Saturated solution at room temperature; storage below room temperature causes precipitation.
