A monomeric unit of a conformationally constrained PNA analog, E- olefinic peptide nucleic acid (E-OPA) containing the base thymine was synthesized in 14 steps. The key step involved a palladium (0) catalyzed cross-coupling reaction utilizing a reformatsky reagent as nucleophile. A protecting group regime that is compatible with solid-phase PNA and DNA chemistries was chosen.
