Abstract:
Selenocysteine containing peptoids and peptide-peptoid conjugates were synthesized by combinatorial Ugi-MCRs (multicomponent reactions) in water: for the first time, an acetal (selenoacetal 2a) was used in Ugi-MCR to furnish selenocysteine peptoids in one step as model compounds for selenocysteine peptides and proteins.
