[formula: see text] A method for a large-scale synthesis of stereodefined oligo(nucleoside 3',5'-methanephosphonates) has been developed, based on transient 3'-O protection, which allows for the conversion of the protecting chirally defined methanephosphonanilidate group, located at the 3' end of a stereoregular oligomer, into diastereomerically pure "oligomeric building blocks" for stereospecific coupling with the 5'-OH group of another oligonucleotide.
