Increased stability towards enzymatic degradation is observed for oligonucleotides if they contain the thymidine analogue 1 . Its binding ability for complementary RNA is not decreased significantly, which makes 1 interesting as a building block for antisense oligonucleotides. Compound 1 can be prepared in a nineteen‐step synthesis starting from D ‐serine.
