[reaction: see text] Fmoc-protected amino acid fluorides were found to be excellent reagents for the acylation of sulfonamide safety-catch linkers (SCL) suitable for the subsequent preparation of peptide C-terminal thioesters. High loadings were obtained on different types of resins with low levels of epimerization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
