Product profile
5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine is classified as modified nucleosides (Formula C11H12N2O5; molecular weight 252.20).
5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine is useful as a bioorthogonal handle for post-synthetic conjugation to fluorophores, affinity tags, surfaces, peptides or other functional payloads.
For 5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine, copper-catalyzed, copper-free or inverse-electron-demand click conditions can affect sensitive oligonucleotides differently; residual metal, solvent and purification strategy should be controlled.

Product-specific evaluation notes
Potential advantages
- Click-compatible handles separate oligonucleotide synthesis from late-stage labeling, which helps screen multiple payloads from a common intermediate.
Method limitations
- Copper-catalyzed, copper-free or inverse-electron-demand click conditions can affect sensitive oligonucleotides differently; residual metal, solvent and purification strategy should be controlled.
