[0002] Modified sugars are useful for many purposes, including for preparing nucleosides, nucleotides, oligonucleotides, etc. SUMMARY

[0003] Many compounds include sugars. For example, natural nucleic acids include sugars in their backbones. For many uses, such as in compounds (e.g., nucleosides, phosphoramidites, nucleotides, and nucleic acids) as research tools, therapeutics, etc., the typical sugars in natural DNA and RNA are often modified to provide improved properties, activities, etc. For example, many modified sugars have 2’- modifications which are groups having different structures and / or arranged differently compared to the 2’-H and 2’-OH in the typical DNA and RNA sugars. In some embodiments, a 2’-modification is 2’- OR2akwherein R2akis optionally substituted C1-6aliphatic. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides technologies (e.g., compounds (e.g., reagents and products), compositions (e.g., crude product compositions, purified product compositions and reaction systems), and methods) for preparing modified sugars, e.g., those comprising 2’-OR2ak(e.g., 2’-OMe) modifications, and compounds, such as nucleosides, nucleotides, nucleic acids (e.g., oligonucleotides) comprising such modified sugars. In some embodiments, a compound comprises, instead of an optionally protected A, T, C, G or U nucleobases, an optionally protected nucleobase other than A, T, C, G and U. In some embodiments, a compound (N3U). In some embodiments, a compound is a nucleoside comprising a 2’-OR2akmodifiedoptionally protected non-natural nucleobase. In some embodiments, a compound is a nucleoside comprising a 2’-OR2akmodified sugar and an optionally protected or substituted N3U.

[0051] Subject: As used herein, the term “subject” or “test subject” refers to any organism to which a compound or composition is administered in accordance with the present disclosure e.g., for experimental, diagnostic, prophylactic and / or therapeutic purposes. Typical subjects include animals (e.g., mammals such as mice, rats, rabbits, non-human primates, and humans; insects; worms; etc.) and Page 25 of 125 12603067v1Attorney Docket No.: 2010581-1449 plants. In some embodiments, a subject is a human. In some embodiments, a subject may be suffering from and / or susceptible to a disease, disorder and / or condition.

[0052] Substantially: As used herein, the term “substantially” refers to the qualitative condition of exhibiting total or near-total extent or degree of a characteristic or property of interest. One of ordinary skill in the biological and / or chemical arts will understand that biological and chemical phenomena rarely, if ever, go to completion and / or proceed to completeness or achieve or avoid an absolute result. The term “substantially” is therefore used herein to capture the potential lack of completeness inherent in many biological and / or chemical phenomena.

[0053] Susceptible to: An individual who is “susceptible to” a disease, disorder and / or condition is one who has a higher risk of developing the disease, disorder and / or condition than does a member of the general public. In some embodiments, an individual who is susceptible to a disease, disorder and / or condition is predisposed to have that disease, disorder and / or condition. In some embodiments, an individual who is susceptible to a disease, disorder and / or condition may not have been diagnosed with the disease, disorder and / or condition. In some embodiments, an individual who is susceptible to a disease, disorder and / or condition may exhibit symptoms of the disease, disorder and / or condition. In some embodiments, an individual who is susceptible to a disease, disorder and / or condition may not exhibit symptoms of the disease, disorder and / or condition. In some embodiments, an individual who is susceptible to a disease, disorder, and / or condition will develop the disease, disorder, and / or condition. In some embodiments, an individual who is susceptible to a disease, disorder, and / or condition will not develop the disease, disorder, and / or condition.

[0054] Therapeutic agent: As used herein, the term “therapeutic agent” in general refers to any agent that elicits a desired effect (e.g., a desired biological, clinical, or pharmacological effect) when administered to a subject. In some embodiments, an agent is considered to be a therapeutic agent if it demonstrates a statistically significant effect across an appropriate population. In some embodiments, an appropriate population is a population of subjects suffering from and / or susceptible to a disease, disorder or condition. In some embodiments, an appropriate population is a population of model organisms. In some embodiments, an appropriate population may be defined by one or more criterion such as age group, gender, genetic background, preexisting clinical conditions, prior exposure to therapy. In some embodiments, a therapeutic agent is a substance that alleviates, ameliorates, relieves, inhibits, prevents, delays onset of, reduces severity of, and / or reduces incidence of one or more symptoms or features of a disease, disorder, and / or condition in a subject when administered to the subject in an effective amount. In some embodiments, a “therapeutic agent” is an agent that has been or is required to be approved by a government agency before it can be marketed for administration to humans. In some embodiments, a “therapeutic agent” is an agent for which a medical prescription is required for administration to humans. Page 26 of 125 12603067v1Attorney Docket No.: 2010581-1449 In some embodiments, a therapeutic agent is a provided compound.

[0055] Therapeutically effective amount: As used herein, the term “therapeutically effective amount” means an amount of a substance (e.g., a therapeutic agent, composition, and / or formulation) that elicits a desired biological response when administered as part of a therapeutic regimen. In some embodiments, a therapeutically effective amount of a substance is an amount that is sufficient, when administered to a subject suffering from or susceptible to a disease, disorder, and / or condition, to treat, diagnose, prevent, and / or delay the onset of the disease, disorder, and / or condition. As will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in this art, the effective amount of a substance may vary depending on such factors as the desired biological endpoint, the substance to be delivered, the target cell or tissue, etc. For example, the effective amount of compound in a formulation to treat a disease, disorder, and / or condition is the amount that alleviates, ameliorates, relieves, inhibits, prevents, delays onset of, reduces severity of and / or reduces incidence of one or more symptoms or features of the disease, disorder, and / or condition. In some embodiments, a therapeutically effective amount is administered in a single dose; in some embodiments, multiple unit doses are required to deliver a therapeutically effective amount.

[0056] Treat: As used herein, the term “treat,” “treatment,” or “treating” refers to any method used to partially or completely alleviate, ameliorate, relieve, inhibit, prevent, delay onset of, reduce severity of, and / or reduce incidence of one or more symptoms or features of a disease, disorder, and / or condition. Treatment may be administered to a subject who does not exhibit signs of a disease, disorder, and / or condition. In some embodiments, treatment may be administered to a subject who exhibits only early signs of the disease, disorder, and / or condition, for example for the purpose of decreasing the risk of developing pathology associated with the disease, disorder, and / or condition.

[0057] Unsaturated: The term "unsaturated," as used herein, means that a moiety has one or more units of unsaturation.

[0058] As those skilled in the art will appreciate, methods and compositions described herein relating to provided compounds generally also apply to pharmaceutically acceptable salts of such compounds. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN EMBODIMENTS
