Although the carbobenzoxy method3 has been used successfully for the synthesis of peptide^,^ the development of alternate methods for the preparation of complex polypeptides is desirable. Recently several such methods have been pr~ posed.~ In this report we describe the trityl method of peptide synthesis, which has been discussed independently of our work2 by Hillmann-Ellies, Hillmann and Jatzkewitz6 and by Amiard, ...
