Aspartimide prone sequence containing protected peptides are successfully s
ynthesized in solid phase by using the bifunctional linker N-[(9-hydroxymet
hyl)-2-fluorenyl] succinamic acid (HMFS) in combination with morpholine as
the cleavage reagent. Access to high purity peptide synthons opens a straig
htforward way to the synthesis of large proteins by convergent strategies.
