A stereoselective synthesis of (5′S)-5′-C-(5-bromo-2-penten-1-yl)-2′-deoxyribofuranosyl thymine phosphoramidite is described; the absolute stereochemistry of the compound has been determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. This convertible nucleoside has been incorporated into oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) and proved to be suitable for post-synthesis conjugation on solid support. When a diamine is tethered, there is no alteration in the pairing properties of the ODNs. Molecular modelling indicates that the substituent is inserted into the minor groove of the duplex.
