The site-selective conjugation of peptide nucleic acids (PNA) with fluorescent reporter groups is essential for the construction of hybridisation probes that can report the presence of a particular DNA sequence. This paper describes convergent methods for
Solid phase synthesis of protected peptide nucleic acids

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. The selective attachment of fluorescent labels at the C-terminal (3') end demonstrated for the first time that further manipulations on protected PNA fragments are feasible.
