Syntheses of four N-Fmoc δ-amino acids with an ether linkage in the main chain and four different nucleobases on the side chain, Fmoc-NH- C*H(CH2-CH2-B)-CH2-O-CH2-COOH (B=thymine, uracil, N4-benzoylcytosine, and N2-isobutyrylguanine) are described. The δ-amino acids were prepared through 8-12 step synthesis starting from L-homoserine and could be linked together to form novel peptide nucleic acids (oxy-PNAs = OPNAs).

Nucleoamino acids of type I-III have been synthesized, which can serve as building blocks for novel polyamide based nucleic acid analogs. Key steps in the syntheses are the alkylation of serinol I and homoserinol 18 with tert-butyl bromoacetate or tert-butyl bromopropionate under phase transfer conditions and the introduction of thymine or uracil into the amino acid side drains by way of a Mitsunobu reaction. Cytosine derivatives were prepared through uracil → cytosine base conversion at the stage of N(δ)-BOC protected amino acid tert-butyl esters.
