Regioselectivity of Reductive Cleavage of Methyl 4,6-O-Benzylidene-3-deoxyhexopyranosides Containing Fluorine at the 2- or 3-Position with LiAlH4–AlCl3
Regioselectivity of Reductive Cleavage of Methyl 4,6-O-Benzylidene-3-deoxyhexopyranosides Containing Fluorine at the 2- or 3-Position with LiAlH4–AlCl3
The present disclosure describes tetrahydropyran nucleoside analogs, oligomeric compounds prepared therefrom and methods of using the oligomeric compounds. More particularly, tetrahydropyran nucleoside analogs are provided, having one or more chiral substituents, that are useful for enhancing properties of oligomeric compounds including nuclease resistance and binding affinity. In some embodiments, the oligomeric compounds provided herein hybridize to a portion of a target RNA resulting in loss of normal function of the target RNA.
The present invention provides oligomeric compounds and uses thereof. In certain embodiments, such oligomeric compounds are useful as antisense compounds. Certain such antisense compounds are useful as RNase H antisense compounds, as RNAi compounds, and/or as modulators of splicing.
