This chemical is primarily used in the synthesis of oligonucleotides, particularly in the field of genetic research and molecular biology. It serves as a building block in the automated solid-phase synthesis of DNA sequences, enabling the creation of custom oligonucleotides for applications such as PCR, gene editing, and sequencing. The protective groups, including DMT and isobutyryl, ensure precise control over the coupling reactions during synthesis, enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of the process. Its role is critical in developing probes, primers, and other tools essential for studying genetic material and advancing biotechnological innovations.
