1-(2,3-Dideoxy-3-amino-α-D-arabino-hexofuranosyl)thymine is considered as a conformationally restricted acyclic nucleoside using the furanose ring to link the diol backbone to the nucleobase. The appropriately substituted phosphoramidites were synthesised via 1-(5,6-di-O-acetyl-2,3- dideoxy-3-phthalimido-α-D-arabino-hexofuranosyl)thymine and used in oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) synthesis. However, the binding affinity of the mixed ODNs towards complementary DNA and RNA was decreased compared to the wild-type oligos. The decrease was smaller when the monomer was inserted near the end of the sequence. The insertions into an α T sequence or in a β T sequence gave nearly the same dropping in melting temperature per modification which indicates that the new nucleotide modifications behave both as α and β nucleotides.
