Synthesis of two 6′α-fluorocarbocyclic nucleosides and incorporation into short segments of DNA

Abstract
The 6′-fluorocarbocyclic nucleosides 1 and 2 have been synthesized from the bicyclic ketone 3 in 16 and 2% yield respectively. The nucleoside 1 has been incorporated into short chains of DNA using an automated synthesizer and these oligonucleotides have been shown to hybridize with (fluorine containing) complementary strands.
