Abstract:
We report the development of simple solution-phase flow conditions for the scalable synthesis of peptides using in-situ activation as mixed anhydrides, contributing to the synthetic toolbox of available solution-phase flow reactions. This approach has been used for the preparation of a series of diverse dipeptides in plug flow, and then continuous flow conditions (< 10 mmol) were developed and applied to the gram scale synthesis of the hexapeptide linear precursor for the bioactive cyclic peptide segetalin A as further proof of the utility of this approach.
