    Abstract

    The suitability of the 4-methoxytetrahydropyran-4-yl group for the protection of 2′ (or 3′)-hydroxy functions in oligoribonucleotide synthesis is confirmed; the latter protecting group is removed in 0.01M - hydrochloric acid at room temperature under conditions which, contrary to a recent report, lead to no detectable cleavage or migration of the internucleotide phosphodiester linkages.
