To synthesize peptide thioesters directly on a solid support for use as substrate analogues for thioesterases in non-ribosomal peptide synthases, we modified a reagent compatible with Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis that efficiently removes the protecting group while keeping the thioester intact.

โฆ Synopsis
Aiming at the direct preparation of peptide thioesters by an Fmoc solid-phase method, we searched a new deblocking reagent, which efficiently removed Fmoc groups while keeping the thioester intact. The deblocking reagent, which contains 1-methylpyrrolidine, hexamethyleneimine and HOBt in a one to one mixture of NMP and DMSO, realized the preparation of peptide thioesters by an Fmoc solid-phase method in a yield equivalent to that obtained by a Boc solid-phase method.

Established methodology for the preparation of peptide thioesters requires the use of t-butoxycarbonyl chemistry owing to the lability of thioester linkers to the nucleophilic reagents used in Fmoc solid phase peptide synthesis. Both the greater ease of use and the broad applicability of the method
