An efficient synthesis of modified deoxyribonucleosidic building units, containing the ‘ethylene‐bisphosphonate nucleic acids’ (EBPNAs) 1 or 2 , has been developed. By means of solution‐phase incorporation of 11 , the oxidized form of 2 , dinucleotide analogs of type 13 were prepared. The same strategy was used to incorporate 2 into the 5′‐terminal position of the 12‐mer homopolynucleotide methylphosphonate 14 . A preliminary approach for solid‐phase incorporation of the nucleosidic building block 1 into a preselected position of an oligonucleotide sequence to give 19 is presented, a reaction performed by means of a coupling strategy involving catalytic oxazaphospholidine‐ring cleavage.
