A synthetic route to the C-nucleoside that bears benzophenone as a DNA base substitution directly at the anomeric center of the 2′- deoxyribofuranoside was worked out. Furthermore, the -anomer of this artificial nucleoside was converted synthetically into the corresponding DNA building block and incorporated into two representative oligonucleotides by automated phosphoramidite chemistry. The chromophore-modified DNA was characterized by methods of optical spectroscopy. The absorption band at ~350 nm can be used for selective excitation of the benzophenone chromophore outside the nucleic acid absorption range, which makes the benzophenone nucleoside potentially useful for photochemical and photobiological applications.
