A stereoselective synthesis of 3'-deoxy-3'-C-formyl-5-methyluridine 2 is described via the dithiane 4 as the key intermediate. Compound 2 was coupled with 3 into a novel ribo-MMI dimer 1. The dimer was then incorporated into antisense oligonucleotides which were found to have high binding affinity to the target RNA. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
