For preparing the eTags in situ during the synthesis of oligonucleotides, one would provide phosphoramidites or phosphates, where the esters would include alkyl groups, particularly of from 1 to 3 carbon atoms, and cyanoethyl groups, while for the phosphoramidite, dialkylamino, where the alkyl groups are of from 1-4 carbon atoms, while the other group would be a protected hydroxy, where the protec
