Abstract

Aryl thioesters of peptide segments were prepared by the conventional 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) strategy using a novel N-alkyl cysteine (NAC)-assisted thioesterification reaction. The peptide carrying NAC at its C-terminus was prepared by the Fmoc strategy and converted to the aryl thioester by 4-mercaptophenylacetic acid (MPAA) treatment without significant side reactions. The peptide thioester was used for the efficient preparation of 95-amino acid (AA) chemokine CCL27 by an Ag+-free thioester method.
