Abstract
A bicyclic thiofuranoside (phenyl 3,5-di-O-benzyl-2-O,4-C-methylene-β-D-ribofuranoside) was efficiently synthesized and introduced as the key synthon in a method for convergent synthesis of α- and β-LNA nucleosides; acid-induced ring-opening reactions of the corresponding bicyclic methyl furanoside are also described.
