First efficient synthesis of α-MAPI

Abstract

α-MAPI 1 and its analogues have been synthesised using tri-tert- butoxysilyl protected amino acids in conjunction with a solid-phase N→C assembly; the terminal aldehyde group of the peptide is generated from a C-modified amino acid containing a gem-diol.
