The present disclosure describes bis-modified bicyclic nucleosides and
oligomeric compounds that can be prepared comprising at least one of
these bis-modified bicyclic nucleosides. More particularly, the
bis-modified bicyclic nucleosides have at least one substituent group at
the 5'-methylene and on the bridge methylene and can be chiral. These
bis-modified bicyclic nucleosides are expected to be useful for enhancing
one or more property of oligomeric compounds including for example
enhancing nuclease resistance.
