The influence of the N 3‐protection group of thymine on the regioselectivity of the N 1‐ vs. O 2 ‐alkylation under Mitsunobu conditions is described. A series of N 3‐protected thymine derivatives 8a – f was prepared and coupled to cyclopentanol as model compound for carbocyclic nucleoside precursors. Finally, the N 3‐BOM group was selected to improve our previously reported synthetic strategy to carbocyclic thymidine ( carba ‐dT). Moreover, the 2,6‐dimethyl‐Bz group led exclusively to the O 2 ‐analogue of carba ‐dT. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2006)
