N. Thieriet et al., USE OF ALLOC-AMINO ACIDS IN SOLID-PHASE PEPTIDE-SYNTHESIS - TANDEM DEPROTECTION-COUPLING REACTIONS USING NEUTRAL CONDITIONS, Tetrahedron letters, 38(41), 1997, pp. 7275-7278
The use of Alloc group in SPPS for the N-alpha protection of amino aci
ds is an alternative to the Boc and Fmoc protecting groups. The smooth
removal of Alloc group in neutral conditions with catalytic amounts o
f Pd(PPh3)(4) in the presence of PhSiH3 as a scavenger for the allyl s
ystem permits orthogonality with the most common protecting groups. Fu
rthermore, a tandem deprotection-coupling reaction allows the suppress
ion of DKP formation in cases where this side reaction is troublesome.
