The Cu(I)- or Ag(I)-catalyzed cycloaddition between 8-ethynyladenine or guanine nucleosides and TMSN 3 gave 8-(1-H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl) nucleosides in good yields. On the other hand, reactions of 5-ethynyluracil or cytosine nucleosides with TMSN3 led to the chemoselective formation of triazoles via Cu(I)-catalyzed cycloaddition or vinyl azides via Ag(I)-catalyzed hydroazidation. These nucleosides with a minimalistic triazolyl modification showed excellent fluorescent properties with 8-(1-H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-2'-deoxyadenosine (8-TrzdA), exhibiting a quantum yield of 44%. The 8-TrzdA 5'-triphosphate was incorporated into duplex DNA containing a one-nucleotide gap by DNA polymerase beta.
