K. Conde-frieboes et al., Synthesis of symmetrical dimeric N,N '-linked peptides on solid support byolefin metathesis, TETRAHEDR L, 41(47), 2000, pp. 9153-9156
A method has been developed for the synthesis of dimeric ligands of biologi
cal relevance on solid support using olefin metathesis as a key step. With
the ruthenium catalyst used, the size of the peptide fragment did not influ
ence the reaction. If the double bond involved was separated by at least si
milar to2 methylene groups from an amide group, products of good purity cou
ld be recovered. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
