Ls. Richter et al., PEPTIDE-CYCLIZATIONS ON SOLID SUPPORT - A FAST AND EFFICIENT ROUTE TOSMALL CYCLOPEPTIDES, Tetrahedron letters, 35(31), 1994, pp. 5547-5550
A series of cyclic penta-, hexa- and heptapeptides was synthesized usi
ng a novel cyclization strategy. After attachment of the first amino a
cid to the solid support with a thioester-linkage, the linear peptides
were synthesized using Boc-chemistry. Head-to-tail cyclizations were
performed on the solid support and provided the desired cyclopeptides
in high purity and good yields.
