Phosphorothioate oligonucleotides synthesized through assembly of dimeric phosphoramidite synthons show a significantly improved impurity profile compared to oligomers synthesized through coupling of standard monomer phosphoramidites. A greater than 70% reduction of the (n-1)-mer population and a ca. 50% reduction of phosphodiester linkages has been achieved.
