Synthesis and stereochemical characterization of enantiomerically pure C(PS
Me)G derivatives by NMR methods are reported. The effect of 5'-dimethoxytri
tyl on the conformational properties is described. It was found that in P-d
iastereomers the conformational differences about the C3'-O3' bond, as disc
ernible from the Delta J values, are enhanced by the presence of this prote
cting group.
