Abstract

This manuscript shows that ACN can be an excellent choice for the coupling of hindered amino acids as illustrated by the coupling of Fmoc‐amino acids on free amino acids anchored on a BAL synthesis. Furthermore, ACN can be a good alternative for solid‐phase peptide synthesis in the absence of DMF (washings, removal of Fmoc, and coupling).
