Abstract

A general procedure to prepare peptide thioacids by solid-phase peptide synthesis is presented. The method involves the synthesis of 4-[α-(S-acetyl) mercaptobenzyl] phenoxyacetic acid as general precursor. This reagent once attached to a solid support is derivatized with the Boc-amino acid of choice after deprotection of the thiol.
