β¦ Synopsis
Suitably protected linear precursors of cyclic PNAs can be readily obtained by BOP/DiPEA coupling of the corresponding sub-monomers. Conversion of the linear PNA dimers into the pentafluorophenyl esters allows cyclization by intramolecular attack of the deprotected primary amino function under diluted conditions. After removal of the secondary amino protecting group(s), installation of the required nucleobase-acetyl function(s) affords cyclic PNAs. In addition, the latter compounds can be prepared following a direct coupling strategy.

Peptide nucleic acids (PNA) were synthesized by a modified Merrifield method using several improvements. Activation by O-[benzotriazol-1-yl]-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate in combination with in situ neutralization of the resin allowed efficient coupling of all four Boc-protected PNA
Boc/'Z-protected PNA oligomers were synthesised on solid phase. The use of the allylic HYCRON resin allowed for the application of both Boc-and Fmoc-protecting groups. Highest yields were obtained when the monomeric building block was synthesised on solid phase rather than loaded as preformed unit.
