Synthesis of a novel ribo-MMI dimer with 2′-OH and 2′-OMe in 5′- and 3′-nucleosides, respectively is presented. The synthesis was accomplished by reductive coupling of 3′-deoxy-3′-C-formyluridine and 2′-O-methyl-5′-O-methylaminouridine via a thioacetal as
A new approach for the synthesis of 3'-deoxy-3'-C-formyl-ribonucleosides and the synthesis of alternating methylene(methylimino) linked phosphodiester backbone oligonucleotides with 2'-OH and 2'-OMe groups

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.
