38. Compound 3 was synthesized previously from deoxyuridine triphosphate (dUTP), however, problems with by-products and the expense of dUTP as a starting material posed serious obstacles for this synthetic route.

39. Several derivatives of 3 have been shown to be substrates for E. coli DNA polymerase and useful in nick translation and random primed synthesis when they replace dTTP. Homogeneous incorporation of these derivatives in PCR is not possible because of chain termination, see ref. [11c] for a discussion of derivatives in PCR. a) M. Shimkus, J. Levy, T. Herman, Proc.
