Abstract:
Greener approaches are essential to significantly reduce the environmental impact of solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS). In this regard, we report a systematic study on the sustainable use of the Kaiser-DeGrado oxime resin. The reusability efficiency of this polystyrene-based resin was investigated through the synthesis of linear and cyclic model peptides with different structural features. We demonstrated that the oxime resin can be reused over multiple SPPS cycles without any special treatment, while still affording crude peptides in good purity and yield even after eight cycles. Furthermore, regeneration of the resin improved its efficiency approaching performances comparable to those of the freshly prepared resin. In addition, the same resin can be reused multiple times within a single reaction vessel using significantly fewer reagents and solvents, reducing material expenditures and waste while simplifying workflow.

Though catalytic hydrogenation can reduce nitrobenzenes, the reduction is nonselective in the presence of other functional groups. For instance, if nitrobenzene contains an aldehyde group,...

Epoxidation with Peroxy Acids
Epoxidation of alkenes via oxidation with peroxy acids involves the conversion of a carbon–carbon double bond to an epoxide using the oxidizing agent meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, commonly known as MCPBA. Since the O–O bond of peroxy acids is very weak, the addition of electrophilic oxygen of peroxy acids to...
