The preparation of a novel phosphoramidite monomer based on thyminyl acetic
acid coup led to the secondary nitrogen of 2-(2-amino-ethylamino)ethanol i
s described. This monomer can be used to attach a deoxynucleotide to the ca
rboxy terminus of a PNA oligomer by solid-phase synthesis. The resulting PN
A primer is recognized as a substrate by various DNA polymerases.
