  • N-heteroarenesulfonyl-protected amino acid reagents for peptide synthesis
    Patent number: 5900427
    Abstract: This invention relates to the use of heteroarenesulfonyl groups as protecting groups for amino groups, particularly the amino groups of amino acids, and specifically to nitrogen-protected (N-protected) amino acid reagents, which are particularly well-suited for use in peptide syntheses. In particular, the N-protected amino acid reagent is an N-heteroarenesulfonyl-protected amino acid halide. The heteroarenesulfonyl protecting groups are readily removed under relatively mild conditions.
