We describe the synthesis, structure ad DNA incorporation of a class of novel aromatic C-deoxynucleosides in which benzenes and larger polycyclic aromatics serve as DNA base analogs. Novel approaches have been developed for glycosidic bond formation and for epimerization of the anomeric substituents to β-configuration, and we describe some of the properties of such compounds in DNA.
