Abstract
This unit describes the detailed preparation of 5‐alkynyl‐2ʹ‐halogenated arabinosyl uridine nucleosides (2ʹ‐halo‐ara‐EdU) from uridine. These compounds were synthesized as prospective chemical probes for the detection of DNA synthesis in proliferating cells. Currently, this is the only synthetic methodology reported to access these compounds. The key to success of the synthetic approach was to employ a 3‐N‐nitro‐protecting group to stabilize the required 2ʹ‐triflate nucleoside precursor toward nucleophilic substitution. Several synthetic challenges were overcome to accommodate the combination of a 5‐alkyne and 3‐N‐nitro functional group, including facile introduction and removal of the N‐nitro group, and removal of the sugar acetyl groups under acidic conditions
