Previously reported syntheses of the photoaffinity label 5-azido-2'-deoxyuridine are rather inefficient and involve the tedious preparation of a 5-nitro intermediate. To overcome these inconveniences, we have developed a new approach from the commercially available 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine nucleoside. Our synthetic route makes use of a benzylamination reduction sequence. Using this strategy, the 5-azido-2'-deoxyuridine photolabel is prepared in three steps and quantitative yields.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008956 Models, Chemical Theoretical representations that simulate the behavior or activity of chemical processes or phenomena; includes the use of mathematical equations, computers, and other electronic equipment. Chemical Models,Chemical Model,Model, Chemical
D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
D001973 Bromodeoxyuridine A nucleoside that substitutes for thymidine in DNA and thus acts as an antimetabolite. It causes breaks in chromosomes and has been proposed as an antiviral and antineoplastic agent. It has been given orphan drug status for use in the treatment of primary brain tumors.

D003857 Deoxyuridine 2'-Deoxyuridine. An antimetabolite that is converted to deoxyuridine triphosphate during DNA synthesis. Laboratory suppression of deoxyuridine is used to diagnose megaloblastic anemias due to vitamin B12 and folate deficiencies. (beta 1-(2-Deoxyribopyranosyl))thymidine
D001386 Azides Organic or inorganic compounds that contain the -N3 group. Azide
D001596 Benzylamines Toluenes in which one hydrogen of the methyl group is substituted by an amino group. Permitted are any substituents on the benzene ring or the amino group. Phenylmethylamine,alpha-Aminotoluene,alpha Aminotoluene
D019920 Photoaffinity Labels Biologically active molecules which are covalently bound to the enzymes or binding proteins normally acting on them. Binding occurs due to activation of the label by ultraviolet light. These labels are used primarily to identify binding sites on proteins. Labels, Photoaffinity
