A new synthetic approach towards α- and β-LNA (locked nucleic acids)
Nielsen, Poul,Wengel, Jesper
, p. 701 - 702 (1999)
A bicyclo[2.2.1] phenyl thioglycoside was efficiently synthesised and introduced as the key synthon in a novel method for convergent synthesis of β-LNA-nucleosides as well as their α-configurated isomers. An acid-induced ring-opening reaction on the corre
α-LNA (locked nucleic acid with α-D-configuration): Synthesis and selective parallel recognition of RNA

α-LNA is presented as a stereoisomer of LNA (locked nucleic acid) with α-D-configuration. Three different approaches towards the thymine α-LNA monomer as well as the 5-methylcytosine α-LNA monomer are presented. Different α-LNA sequences have been synthesised and their hybridisation with complementary DNA and RNA has been evaluated by means of thermal stability experiments and circular dichroism spectroscopy. In a mixed pyrimidine sequence, α-LNA displays unprecedented parallel-stranded and selective RNA binding. Furthermore, a remarkable selectivity for hybridisation with RNA over DNA is indicated.
Synthesis and evaluation of α-LNA

, p. 825 - 828 (2007/10/03)
Three different synthetic routes to the α-configured LNA thymine monomer starting from D-allose or D-arabinose were investigated. The introduction of one or four α-LNA monomers into α-DNA had a destabilizing effect on the duplexes. However, a fully modifi

The bicyclic thymine monomer of α-LNA (αT(L)) was efficiently synthesised and used in the synthesis of α-LNA sequences: incorporation of single αT(L)-monomers in α-configured oligothymidylates destabilises the affinity towards both complementary DNA and R
Synthesis and chemoselective activation of phenyl 3,5-di-O-benzyl-2-O,4-C-methylene-1-thio-β-D-ribofuranoside: A key synthon towards α-LNA
Nielsen, Poul,Wengel, Jesper
, p. 2645 - 2646 (2007/10/03)
A bicyclic thiofuranoside (phenyl 3,5-di-O-benzyl-2-O,4-C-methylene-β-D-ribofuranoside) was efficiently synthesized and introduced as the key synthon in a method for convergent synthesis of α- and β-LNA nucleosides; acid-induced ring-opening reactions of
