  • Patent number: 11098078
    Abstract: The present invention has an object of providing a peptide synthesis method using a carrier capable of reversibly repeating the dissolved state and the insolubilized state, wherein the problem of an amino acid active species existing in the reaction system in de-protection reaction can be easily solved. The present invention provides a peptide synthesis method comprising the following steps: a step of condensing an N-Fmoc protected amino acid with a peptide having a C-terminal protected with a carrier which is crystallized according to a change of a composition of a dissolving solvent, in the presence of a condensing agent, to obtain an N-Fmoc-C-carrier protected peptide, a step of adding an alkylamine having 1 to 14 carbon atoms or hydroxyl amine to the reaction system, a step of de-protecting the N-terminal, and a step of changing the composition of the solvent dissolving the C-carrier protected peptide, to crystallize and separate the peptide.
