The solid-phase synthesis of γ-AApeptides using a novel submonomeric approach that utilizes an allyl protection is reported. The strategy successfully circumvents the necessity of preparing γ-AApeptide building blocks in order to prepare γ-AApeptide sequences. This method will maximize the potential of developing chemically diverse γ-AApeptide libraries and thereby facilitate the biological applications of γ-AApeptides in the future.
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.
