title: Synthesis of a branched locked nucleic acid (LNA) analogue.
abstract: A 3'-C-branched LNA-type bicyclic nucleoside, containing a furanose ring locked in an N-type conformation, was synthesized from a known 3-C-vinyl allofuranose derivative using a strategy relying on the condensation with the nucleobase after the introduction of the branching hydroxymethyl chain by our recently developed RuO4 based protocol. This branched LNA nucleoside has a potential as a monomer for the functionalization of LNA.
