Abstract:
Synthesis of a β-OHTyr-containing Bk analogue, a cyclic octalipopeptide with antifungal activities, is described. Since β-OHTyr-containing peptides generally are unstable in strong acidic conditions, synthesis of β-HOTyr-containing peptides by SPPS have rarely been reported. To overcome this problem, we found that using distilled TFA removed the protecting groups of side chains of β-OHTyr-containing Bk analogue, which was prepared by Fmoc-SPPS. Abbreviations: β-OHTyr: β-hydroxytyrosine; β-OHAsn: β-hydroxyasparagine; Bk: burkholdine; FAA: fatty acyl amino acid; β-MeOTyr: β-methoxytyrosine; SPPS: solid phase peptide synthesis; MIC: minimun inhibitory concentration; DMF: dimethyl formamide; DIPEA: diisopropylethylamine; DIPC: diisopropylcarbodiimide; HOBt: 1-hydroxybenzotriazole; Fmoc: 9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl; HFIP: 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropan-2-ol; TFA: trifluoroacetic acid; LAP: N-lauryl -3-amino-4-carbamolypropanoic acid; HPLC: high performance liquid chromatography; ESI-TOFMS: electrospray ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry; Bn: benzyl; Boc: t-butyloxycatbonyl; 2-CTC: 2-chlorotritylchloride.

Dehydration Synthesis
Dehydration synthesis (also called a condensation reaction) is the chemical process in which two molecules covalently link together to form a new molecule, along with the release of a water molecule. Many physiologically important compounds form by dehydration synthesis reactions, such as complex carbohydrates, proteins, DNA, and RNA.
