Abstract:
The reactive intermediates of pentacoordinated phosphoranes with amino acids (P(5)-AA) as building blocks, which were obtained by the reaction of O-phenylene phosphorochloridate with N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)amino acids, were linked to a solid-phase support containing a hydroxymethyl polystyrene functional group. The first amino acid residue was coupled to the solid-phase support after washing the resin with organic solvent. Repeating the procedure led to oligopeptides linked on the resin. A series of free oligopeptides including tetra-Gly, di-Val, tri-Val, di-Leu, di-Phe, and Phe-Leu were obtained after cleavage from solid-phase support. The structure of these oligopeptides were determined by IR, (1)H NMR, FAB-MS, and HPLC.
