A 3′‐ C ‐hydroxymethyl‐branched Locked Nucleic Acid (LNA) monomer 3 was synthesized from diacetone‐α‐ D ‐glucose taking advantage of a stereoselective Grignard reaction for the introduction of a vinyl group, an aldol/Cannizzarro sequence for introducing the 4′‐substituent, oxidative cleavage of the vinyl group using a RuO 4 ‐based protocol, Vorbrüggen‐type nucleobase coupling and finally the ring closure by ether formation giving the bicyclic skeleton.
