We report the synthesis of a 5-formyl-2'-deoxyuridine (5fU) phosphoramidite and the preparation of oligonucleotides comprising all known, naturally observed eukaryotic thymidine modifications. Biophysical characterization of the synthetic oligonucleotides indicates that 5fU, but not the other T-derivatives, can alter DNA structures.
