Abstract: | The Boc-N-methyl-N-[2-(methylamino)ethyl]carbamoyl group (Boc-Nmec) is reported as a new side chain-protective group for tyrosine in Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis. Tyrosine is incorporated into the peptide as Fmoc-Tyr(Boc-Nmec)-OH by standard coupling methods. During the cleavage of the peptide from the resin with TFA the Boc group is simultaneously cleaved while the cationic N-methyl-N-[2-(methylamino)ethyl]carbamoyl group remains attached to the tyrosine residue, thereby increasing the solubility of the peptide. After purification of the peptide, the Nmec protective group can be cleaved under neutral or mild alkaline conditions via an intramolecular cyclization reaction. |
