Abstract

The attachment of Fmoc-amino acids onto p- alkoxybenzyl alcohol resins via DCC-DMAP coupling suffers from two different problems: formation of dimers and racemization. The use of N,N-dimethylformamide dineopentyl acetal for the preparation of Fmoc- aminoacyloxybenzyl handles is the basis of a safe and efficient anchoring method that avoids both problems.
