Dimethoxytrityl is used as a protecting group on the 5'-OH of the carbohydrate in the synthesis of DNA.What is the species formed upon cleavage with acid? What factors contribute to its stability?
A) A dimethoxymethyl cation is formed.The cation is stabilized by hyperconjugation and by the donor effect of the OCH3 groups.
B) A carbanion is formed and this is stabilized by resonance of the benzene rings and by the inductive effect of the OCH3 groups.
C) A carbocation is formed and this stabilized by inductive effect of the OCH3 groups as well as by resonance of the negative charge on the benzene ring.
D) A dimethoxytrityl cation is formed.The cation is stabilized by resonance of the benzene rings and by the donor effect of the OCH3 groups.
E) A neutral dimethoxytrityl is formed.The lack of charge contributes to the easy of hydrolysis and the stability of the species released.
