2'-O-C16-U Phosphoramidite is a lipophilic 2'-modified RNA building block: 5'-O-(4,4'-dimethoxytrityl)-uridine with a 2'-O-hexadecyl (C16) group and a 3'-O-(2-cyanoethyl N,N-diisopropyl)phosphoramidite. Its PubChem-backed identity includes CAS 2382942-83-6, molecular formula C55H79N4O9P, molecular weight 971.2, and PubChem CID 168448113.
The 2'-O-C16 chain is a permanent 2'-O-modification — a long, fatty-acid-type lipophilic substituent rather than a protecting group. The cited 2'-modification literature discusses 2'-position sugar modifications in relation to nuclease/metabolic stability, and cited lipophilic-oligonucleotide literature discusses fatty-acid-type moieties in relation to lipid-particle and plasma-protein affinity. Uracil has no exocyclic amine, so no base protecting group is needed; the monomer couples through a standard 3'-phosphoramidite (3'→5' linkages) and the 5'-DMT is removed each cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 2'-O-C16 modification?
It is a 2'-O-hexadecyl group — a long, fatty-acid-type lipophilic chain permanently attached at the 2'-position. It is not a protecting group; it stays on the finished oligonucleotide.
Why does the 2'-O-C16-U amidite need no base protecting group?
Uracil has no reactive exocyclic amine, so it needs no base protection. The monomer carries a 5'-O-DMT group (removed each cycle), the permanent 2'-O-C16 lipophilic chain, and the 3'-phosphoramidite coupling group.
