The Merrifield solid-phase peptide synthesis technique has been adapted to the synthesis of homo- and heterometallic metal−organic complex arrays (MOCAs). A terpyridine-appended and Fmoc-protected L-tyrosine derivative was metalated with Pt(II), Rh(III), or Ru(II) ions in solution and sequentially coupled at the surface of functionalized polymeric resin to give a metal complex triad (Rh−Pt−Ru),...

We have previously developed water-based microwave (MW)-assisted peptide synthesis using Fmoc-amino acid nanopaticles. It is an organic solvent-free, environmentally friendly method for peptide synthesis. Here we describe water-based MW-assisted solid-phase synthesis using Boc-amino acid nanoparticles. The microwave irradiation allowed rapid solid-phase reaction of nanoparticle reactants on the...

A novel proton acceptor coupling reagent shows superiority to those described previously. The oxygen in the carbocation moiety confers more solubility to the reagent. Furthermore, it enhances coupling yields and decreases racemization, allowing the use of 1 equiv of base.

The solution phase synthesis of N-protected amino acids and peptides has been achieved through the Group-Assisted Purification (GAP) chemistry by avoiding disadvantages of other methods in regard to the difficult scale-up, expenses of solid and soluble polymers, etc. The GAP synthesis can reduce the use of solvents, silica gels, energy and manpower. In addition, the GAP auxiliary can be conveni...

Solution- and solid-phase methods for the preparation of peptide-substituted thiazolidinediones have been developed as an approach towards the preparation of a library of these compounds as potential ligands for the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs).

3-(Diethoxyphosphoryloxy)-1, 2, 3-benzotriazin-4(3H)-one (DEPBT) is an effective coupling reagent for synthesis of linear and cyclic peptides by both solution and solid-phase peptide synthesis. DEPBT mediates amide bond formation with remarkable resistance to racemization. When DEPBT is used as a coupling reagent, it is not necessary to protect the hydroxy group of the amino component (such as ...

A polymer-assisted solution-phase (PASP) synthesis of lead structure analogues ready for biological testing without the demand for chromatographic purification is described. Carboxylic acids are coupled to the Kenner or Ellman safety catch linker, respectively, activated by methylation or cyanomethylation and subsequently transferred to the 2'-amino group of the 2'-amino-2'-deoxyadenosine scaff...
