Abstract
A novel strategy for a more efficient synthesis of difficult sequence‐containing peptides, the S‐acyl isopeptide method, was developed and successfully applied. A model pentapeptide Ac–Val–Val–Cys–Val–Val–NH~2~ was synthesized via its water‐soluble S‐acyl isopeptide using an S‐acyl isodipeptide unit, Boc–Cys(Fmoc–Val)–OH. An S‐acyl isopeptide possessing excellent water solubility could be readily and quantitatively converted to the native peptide via an S____N intramolecular acyl migration reaction at pH 7.4. Thus, the S‐acyl isopeptide method provides a useful tool in peptide chemistry. Copyright © 2008 European Peptide Society and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
