摘要
A variety of Asp beta-carboxy protecting groups, Hmb backbone protection and a range of Fmoe cleavage protocols have been employed in syntheses of the model hexapeptide II-KDGYI-OH to investigate the aspartimide problem in more detail. The extent of formation of aspartimide and aspartimide-related by-products was determined by RP-HPLC. This study included three new Fmoc-Asp-OH derivatives: the beta-(4-pytidyl-diphenylmethyl) and beta-(9-phenyl-fluoren-9-yl) esters and also the orthoester Fmoc-beta-(4-methyl-2,6,7-trioxabicyclo[2.2.2]-oct-1-yl)-alanine. 3-Methylpent-3-yl protcction of the Asp side chain resulted in significant improvements with respect to aspartimide formation. Complete suppressionwas achieved using the combination OtBu side chain protection and limb backbone protection for the preceding Gly residue.
