5-(Azidomethyl)-2’-O-(2-methoxyethyl)uridine

5-(Azidomethyl)-2’-O-(2-methoxyethyl)uridine is a thymidine analogue. Analogs of this series have insertional activity towards replicated DNA. They can be used to label cells and track DNA synthesis[1]. 5-(Azidomethyl)-2’-O-(2-methoxyethyl)uridine is a click chemistry reagent, it contains an Azide group and can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction (CuAAc) with molecules containing Alkyne groups. Strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition (SPAAC) can also occur with molecules containing DBCO or BCN groups.
