title: Synthesis of 3'- and 6'-functionalized locked nucleic acid (LNA) analogues.
abstract: Two locked nucleic acid (LNA) analogues, i.e. a 3'-C-hydroxymethyl derivative and a 6'(R)-hydroxymethyl derivative of the LNA thymidine monomer, have been synthesized efficiently using convergent strategies. The hydroxymethyl group at the 3'-position or the 6'-position provides a versatile starting point for various modifications of LNA.
