A synthesis of the Merrifield resin esters of N-protected amino acids was attempted with the aid of hydrogen-bonding property of fluoride ion with carboxylic acids to obtain the esters in satisfactory yields. This will provide an alternatively efficient and economical method for the preparation of the key intermediate of the solid phase peptide synthesis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
