Abstract

Unwanted trifluoroacetylation occurred at the N-terminus of prolinyl peptides during detachment from the solid phase. This was observed when the N-a-Fmoc protecting group had been removed prior to the final TFA treatment. Subtly changing the SPPS protocol and incorporating Boc- in place of the Fmoc-protected proline as the N-terminal building block efficiently suppressed this side reaction.
