Synthesis of Photoswitchable Hemithioindigo-Based ω-Amino Acids and Application in Boc-Based Peptide Assembly

Abstract

Efficient procedures for the preparation of the N-Boc-protected aldehydes 5a and 5b are described which are valuable precursors for the synthesis of hemithioindigo-based ω-amino acids and peptides.

Key words

hemithioindigos - amino acids - peptides - photoswitches
