✦ Synopsis
DKP formation is a serious side reaction during the solid-phase synthesis of peptide acids containing either Pro or Gly at the C-terminus. This side reaction not only leads to a lower overall yield, but also to the presence in the reaction crude of several deletion peptides lacking the first amino acids. For the preparation of protected peptides using the Fmoc/tBu strategy, the use of a ClTrt-Cl-resin with a limited incorporation of the C-terminal amino acid is the method of choice. The use of resins with higher loading levels leads to more impure peptide crudes. The use of HPLC-ESMS is a useful method for analysing complex samples, such as those formed when C-terminal Pro peptides are prepared by non-optimized solid-phase strategies.

A new aminoethyl-polystyrene linker, stable at low concentrations of TFA, has been developed for the solid phase synthesis of peptide amides. The described linker is stable under conditions which remove Bu(t) protecting groups (30-50% TFA in DCM) and the desired product can be finally cleaved off th
