Microwave assisted chemoselective organocatalytic peptide alcohol synthesis from C-terminal amide?

RSC Advances Pub Date: 2014-09-22 DOI: 10.1039/C4RA09091H

Abstract

The synthesis of peptide alcohols from peptides bearing C-terminal amide using β-aminoalcohols is achieved by a simple, efficient, racemization-free (<1.5%), and chemoselective transformation in the presence of cost-effective PTSA (para-toluenesulfonic acid) under microwave irradiation. Peptide alcohols can be synthesized by a standard solid phase peptide synthesis protocol obviating the need for specially designed resin.
