[reaction: see text] The synthesis of 2'-deoxycytidine nucleosides bearing amino and thiol groups appended to the 5-position of the nucleobase via a butynyl linker is described. The corresponding triphosphates were then synthesized from the nucleoside and incorporated into oligonucleotides by Vent (exo(-)) DNA polymerase. The ability of Vent (exo(-)) polymerase to amplify oligonucleotides containing these functionalized cytidine derivatives in a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was demonstrated for the amino-functionalized derivative.

A route is presented to append, in a single step, alkynyl thioesters to the 5-position of a pyrimidine ring of a nucleoside that is unprotected. These products should be useful to support in vitro selection experiments with functionalized DNA.
