The Pd0/Cu1 catalyzed cross-coupling of terminal alkynes onto peptide nucleic acid monomers or submonomers bearing iodinated nucleobases has been utilized as a route to base-modified oligomers. Both 5-iodouracil and 5-iodocytosine derivatives undergo the cross-coupling to give the expected products in

We have employed a tandem Sonogashira/annulation reaction between 5-iodocytosine derivatives and terminal alkynes to yield the fluorescent bicyclic nucleobase pyrrolcytosine. Pyrrolocytosine bearing substituents only on the pyrrole ring are conveniently synthesized from 5-iodocytosine. Water soluble pyrrolocytosines are being investigated as
