Previous expansions beyond nature's preferred base-pairing interactions have utilized either nonpolar shape-fitting interactions or classical hydrogen bonding. Reported here is a hybrid of these systems. By replacing a single N?H with C?H at a Watson–Crick interface, the design space for new drug candidates and fluorescent nucleobase analogues is dramatically expanded, as demonstrated here by the new, highly fluorescent deoxycytidine mimic 3-glycosyl-5-fluoro-7-methoxy-coumarin-2′-deoxyribose (dCC). dGTP is selectively incorporated across from a template dCC during enzymatic DNA synthesis. Likewise, dCC is selectively incorporated across from a template guanine when dCC is provided as the triphosphate dCCTP. DNA polymerase I (Klenow fragment) exhibited about a 10-fold higher affinity for dCCTP than dCTP, allowing selective incorporation of dCC in direct competition experiments. These results demonstrate that a single C?H can replace N?H at a Watson–Crick-type interface with preservation of functional selectivity and enhanced activity.

Deuterium-labelled 5-fluorocolumbianetin 13 was synthesized as a metabolic probe to examine the stereochemical course of the bioconversion of (+)-columbianetin (12) into the angular furocoumarin angelicin (5). In leaves of Heracleum mantegazzianum, oxidative dealkylation of the specifically deuterated fluorocolumbianetin 13 proceeded by syn-elimination of a D-atom, from C(9), and the vicinal 1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl substituent, yielding 5- fluoroangelicin (23). This matches the stereochemical course of the related reaction converting (+)-marmesin (10) into the linear furocoumarin psoralen (1). Key steps in the synthesis of 5-fluorocolumbianetin (13) were the copper-catalysed alkynylation/cyclization of 5-fluoro-8-iodoumbelliferone (15) followed by a transfer hydrogenation, which established the cis- orientation of the D-Atom and the 1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl substituent.
