Side reaction withN-carboxymethyl amino acids in the synthesis of backbone cyclized peptides
1998
The use of N-carboxymethyl amino acids in the assembly of peptides with backbone cyclization can lead to diketopiperazine formation by intramolecular aminolysis which occurs despite the tert-butyl protection of the carboxy group. This undesired side reaction can be prevented by a very short deprotection time for the Fmoc group, by elongation of the N-carboxyalkyl chain or by forming the backbone (lactam) bridge before Fmoc removal, but not by the use of DBU or additives.
