A facile synthesis of 2′-deoxy-5-trifluoromethyluridine and 2′-deoxy-5-trifluoromethylcytidine phosphoramidites from commercially available 2′-deoxyuridine and 2′-deoxycytidine was achieved, respectively. The obtained phosphoramidites were incorporated into oligonucleotides, and their binding affinity to double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) and single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) was evaluated by UV-melting experiments. The triplex-forming abilities of oligonucleotides including 5-trifluoromethylpyrimidine nucleobases with dsDNA were decreased. Especially, the stability of the triplex containing a trifluoromethylcytosine (CF3C)-GC base triplet was low, likely due to the low pKa of protonated CF3C by the electron-withdrawing trifluoromethyl group. A slight decrease in stability of the duplex formed with ssRNA by oligonucleotides including 5-tri-fluoromethylpyrimidine nucleobases was only observed, suggesting that they might be applicable to various ssRNA-targeted technologies using features of fluorine atoms.

5-Hydroxymethylcytosine has recently been characterized as the 'sixth base' in human DNA. To enable research on this DNA modification, we report an improved method for the synthesis of 5-hydroxymethyl-2′-deoxycytidine (5-HOMedC) phosphoramidite for site-specific incorporation into oligonucleotides. To minimize manipulations we employed a temporary protecting group-free 2′-deoxyuridine to 2′-deoxycytidine conversion procedure that utilizes phase transfer catalysis. The desired 5-HOMedC phosphoramidite is obtained in six steps and 24% overall yield from 2′-deoxyuridine.
