The present methodology allows to synthesize of fluorescently labeled C5-nucleoside triphosphates with different acetylene linkers between the fluorophore and pyrimidine base in good to excellent yields under mild reaction conditions. Modified 2'-deoxycytidine-5'-triphosphates were shown to be good substrates for DNA polymerases and were incorporated into the DNA by polymerase chain reaction.
