✦ Synopsis

A newly developed Fmoc-Asp derivative, Fmoc-Asp beta-(2,3,4-trimethyl-pent-3-yl) ester, has been tried in the Fmoc-based SPPS of H-Val-Lys-Asp-Xaa-Tyr-Ile-OH, a well-established peptide model for studying base-catalysed aspartimide formation. When synthesizing the hexapeptide incorporating Gly, Arg(Pbf), Asn(Mtt), Asp(OtBu) or Cys(Acm) for Xaa, considerable amounts of aspartimide-related by-products were to be expected. The Asp(3) beta-carboxy protecting group and the duration of exposure to bases were varied. By-product formation could be reduced by incorporation of the new Asp derivative more efficiently than by introducing the less bulky Asp(OMpe). Significant improvements were observed in cases of prolonged contact with piperidine or DBU. Both beta-carboxy protecting groups were superior to the standard Asp(OtBu) which was also included in this study, but the additional stabilization gained by our new protecting group was valuable especially in syntheses of long peptides or difficult sequences.

The sequence dependence of base-catalysed aspartmide formation during Fmoc-based SPPS was systematically studied employing the peptide models H-Val-Lys-Asp-Xaa-Tyr-Ile-OH. The extent of formation of aspartimide and related by-products was determined by RP-HPLC. Considerable amounts of by-products we

## Abstract The sequence‐dependent, acid‐ or base‐catalysed aspartimide formation is one of the most serious side reactions in solid‐phase synthesis of peptides containing aspartic acid. In the present work, we investigated the susceptibility of 4‐{__N__‐[1‐(4,4‐dimethyl‐2,6‐dioxocyclohexylidene)‐3
