We describe the syntheses of Boc-protected amino acids bearing the chromophores pyromellitic diimide, naphthalene diimide, and pyrene in their side chains, as well as nucleo amino acids with the artificial purines 7-carbaguanine, 7-carbaadenine, isoadenine, and 7-carbaisoadenine covalently linked to the alanyl side chain. These amino acids incorporating chromophores are suitable building blocks for incorporation into alanyl-PNA for future investigations of the mechanism of nucleobase-mediated electron transfer.
