Abstract
The present invention provides pyrrolidinyl compounds that are useful for preparing conjugated oligomeric compounds. The conjugated pyrrolidinyl compounds can be attached to support medium and provide a free hydroxyl for oligomer synthesis to prepare an oligmeric compound having a 3′-conjugate. Alternatively, the pyrrolidinyl compound can be prepared as a phosphoramidite which can be placed internally or at the 5′-position of an oligomeric compound. These two strategies can be used together to prepare oligomeric compounds having 2 or more conjugates at any selected positions. The present invention also provides methods for modulating gene expression using the conjugated oligomeric compounds.
