## Abstract We have found a novel way of protecting the hydroxyl function in hydroxyβLβamino acids, making use of the tβbutoxy group, which is readily split by acids, but not by bases. This group is introduced by acidβcatalysed addition of isobutene to Nβacylated hydroxyβLβamino acids. The blockin

β¦ Synopsis
In one of the peptide condensation methods termed thioester method, an amino protecting group is required in the lysine side chain. In this study, to investigate the efficiency of the pyruvoyl group as an amino protecting group, we synthesized N a -fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc)-N e -pyruvoyl-lysine and introduced it into peptides and glycopeptides by the ordinary Fmoc-based solid phase peptide synthesis. The pyruvoyl peptide could be condensed with a peptide thioester by the thioester method, and this protecting group was easily removed by o-phenylenediamine treatment without significant side reactions.
