Detection of single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of biologically relevant DNA and RNA samples remain a scientific and practical challenge. We have synthesized phosphoramidite building blocks and oligodeoxynucleotide probes containing novel 2′‐deoxyuridine monomers modified by 5‐(4‐nitro‐1 H ‐imidazol‐1‐yl; (monomer X ) or 2′‐deoxy‐5‐(1,3‐dioxo‐1 H ‐benzo[ de ]isoquinolin‐2(3 H )‐yl; monomer Y ) substituents. The effects of monomers X and Y on duplex thermal stability, and their capability towards discrimination of single‐base mismatches were furthermore studied. Encouraging results were obtained with respect to thermal mismatch discrimination using oligodeoxynucleotides containing monomer X and fluorescence‐based discrimination using oligodeoxynucleotides containing monomer Y .
