The synthesis and structure of 4'-CF3-uridine modified ribonucleotides are reported. Active 4'-CF3-uridine (4'-TfMU) phosphoramidite was prepared and successfully incorporated into oligonucleotides based on solid-supported synthesis. Molecular dynamics simulations and NMR studies of the 4'-TfMU modified oligonucleotides revealed that the ribose of 4'-TfMU was constrained in the South conformation, which was corroborated by the biochemical properties of the 4'-TfMU modified oligonucleotide, such as their affinity to complementary strands and transesterification kinetics. The South-constrained conformation, together with the intense 19F NMR signal of the 4'-TfMU makes it an ideal probe for studying the structure and function of RNA.
