Extension of the “handle” method of peptide synthesis: the use of 4-picolyloxycarbonylhydrazides
Abstract
The 4-picolyloxycarbonylhydrazide of a carboxy-terminal amino-acid [e.g.(I)] provides a weakly basic ‘handle’ by which the coupling product can readily be isolated at each stage of peptide synthesis; then hydrogenolysis of the 4-picolyl group yields the hydrazide required for fragment coupling.
