5-Ethynyl-dU offers convenient click conjugation with an azide to generate a label rigidly attached to one of the oligonucleotide bases. 5-Ethynyl-dU is subject to base-catalyzed hydration during cleavage and deprotection, especially when using a strong base or heat. Hydration of an ethynyl group forms a methyl ketone which subsequently blocks potential click reactions. Mild deprotection conditions are necessary when using 5-Ethynyl-dU-CE Phosphoramidite to prevent this side reaction. TIPS-5-Ethynyl-dU-CE Phosphoramidite, containing a protected alkyne, offers broader compatibility with oligonucleotide synthesis and deprotection. Protecting the 5-ethynyl group with a triisopropylsilyl (TIPS) protecting group prevents acid or base catalyzed hydration during oligonucleotide synthesis and workup. A quick treatment with TBAF removes the TIPS protecting group.
