ChemInform Abstract: Synthesis and Properties of a 2‐Diazohistidine Derivative: A New Photoactivatable Aromatic Amino Acid Analogue.

Abstract

A strategy for the introduction of a photoactivatable amino acid, e.g. the 2‐diazohistidine derivative (IV), into a peptide is developed using the 2‐aminohistidine derivative (VII) for the synthesis of peptides such as (IX) and (XI).
