Popis: A straightforward synthesis of 2′-functionalized uridines was developed based on a Cu-catalyzed cycloaddition of 2′-azido-2′-deoxyuridine and functionalized alkynes. The functions comprise biochemically important groups such as lipids, a fluorescent marker (Cy5 analogue), pentaacetylglucose, lysine and biotin, and are linked to the 2′-position of uridine by a 1,2,3-triazole ring. A number of NMR spectroscopic investigations revealed that the lipidated 2′-triazolyl-2′-deoxyuridines anchor themselves in the phospholipid membranes without affecting the molecular order in the double layers; the polar moieties – uracil, ribose and triazole – are located in the lipid/water interface of the membrane.
