3′-S-(2-N-(t-Butyloxycarbonyl)aminoethylthio)-3′-deoxy-5′-O-(4,4′-dimethoxytrityl)thymidine (3) was synthesized by treating 5′-O-(4,4′-dimethoxytrityl)-2,3′-anhydrothymidine (2) with t-butyl N-(2-mercaptoethyl)carbamate (1) and DBU. Compound 3 was further converted to 3′-S-(2-N-(t-butyloxycarbonyl)aminoethylthio)-3′-deoxythymidine-5′-triphosphate (5) and 3′-S-(2-aminoethylthio)-3′-deoxythymidine-5′-triphosphate (9). The latter compound was labeled with a near-IR fluorescent dye.
