Abstract

A microwave-assisted, rapid solid phase peptide synthesis procedure is presented. It has been applied to the coupling of sterically hindered Fmoc-protected amino acids yielding di- and tripeptides. Optimized conditions for a variety of coupling reagents are reported. Peptides were obtained rapidly (1.5-20 min) and without racemization.
