K. Rosenthal et al., THE 2,4-DIMETHYLPENT-3-YLOXYCARBONYL (DOC) GROUP AS A NEW, NUCLEOPHILE-RESISTANT PROTECTING GROUP FOR TYROSINE IN SOLID-PHASE PEPTIDE-SYNTHESIS, Tetrahedron letters, 38(6), 1997, pp. 1075-1078
The 2,4-dimethylpent-3-yloxycarbonyl (Dec) group is presented as a new
protecting group for tyrosine. The Doc group is 1000-fold more stable
towards the nucleophile piperidine than the commonly used 2-bromobenz
yloxycarbonyl (2-BrZ) group is, and it is completely cleaved by hydrog
en fluoride. (C) 1997, Elsevier Science Ltd.
