Abstract

Abstract The details of the total synthesis of Argyrin B, a natural product with immunosuppressive properties, are reported below. The two most unusual amino acid residues of this cyclic peptide are 4-methoxytryptophan and dehydroalanine, which were obtained by modifying known synthetic methods. The linear peptide was assembled in a most convergent fashion then cyclisation followed by generation of the sensitive ...
