Summary.

A synthesis of the amino sugar 2-amino-2,3-didesoxyribose is described. Starting from D-glucosamine, β-methylfuranoside was obtained in eight steps in 20% yield. This carbohydrate is a novel building block for nucleosides and for backbone modified antisense oligonucleotides with 2′–5′ amide linkages.
