2-(2-Nitrophenyl) propyl: a rapidly released photolabile COOH-protecting group for solid-phase peptide synthesis

Abstract

We developed a new efficient photolabile protecting group, 2-(2-nitrophenyl) propyl (Npp) that blocks the carboxyl group in peptide synthesis. The Npp group is quite compatible with the Fmoc–t-Bu strategy and can be removed rapidly and quantitatively by irradiation with UV light. Using this method, we prepared a head-to-tail cycloheptapeptide.
