Abstract
The synthesis of the 4-phosphono-2-aminobutanoyl-containing tripeptide , H- Glu -Abu(P)- Leu-OH.CF3C02H was accomplished by the use of Boc-Abu(PO3Me2)-OH in Boc /solid phase peptide synthesis. Peptide synthesis was performed by using Boc-Leu-polystyrene as the polymer support with the peptide assembled by the use of 1H-benzotriazol-1-yloxytris(pyrro1idin-1-yl) phosphonium hexafluorophosphate ( PyBOPR ) for the coupling of Boc amino acids and 50% CF3C02H/CH2C12 for cleavage of the Boc group from the Boc -peptide after each coupling cycle. The protected peptide was cleaved from the polymer support by hydrogen bromide in trifluoroacetic acid and final cleavage of the methyl groups from Glu-Abu(PO2Me2)-Leu was effected by silylitic treatment with 30% bromotrimethylsilane in acetonitrile.
