Deprotection Reagents in Fmoc Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis: Moving Away from Piperidine?

Abstract: Abstract:The deprotection step is crucial in order to secure a good quality product in Fmoc solid phase peptide synthesis. 9-Fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) removal is achieved by a two-step mechanism reaction favored by the use of cyclic secondary amines; however, the efficiency of the reaction could be affected by side reactions and by-product formation. Several aspects have to be taken into consideration when selecting a deprotection reagent: its physicochemical behavior, basicity (pKa) and polarity, concen… Show more

“…Fmoc group during synthesis is usually removed in a weak basic conditions, in 20% of piperidine in DMF. The reaction mechanism of Fmoc cleavage from solid support presented in Scheme 2 in the first step is based on β-elimination [ 68 ]. Initially, the proton from the fluorenyl group at the 9-position is removed by piperidine with the formation of dibenzofulvene Scheme 2 .…”

“…In this case, use of acidic conditions are thus required, as exemplified with Knoevenagel reactions carried out in acetic anhydride. When basic conditions are employed, piperidine is without contest one of the most popular bases due to its relatively high pKa (11.1, 25°C) which is sufficient to deprotonate activated methylene groups, its low cost, its low toxicity and easiness to evaporate [20]. However, to prepare dyes, the selection of the reaction conditions is of crucial importance as the amine can further react with the newly prepared dye, giving rise to the formation of side-products.…”

“…Also, there is a limitation of piperidine availability in some institutions or countries due to use of piperidine as a substrate for illegal psychotropic drugs. This fact can cause administrative problems for purchasing piperidine 34 …”
