PG - 1458-1465 LID - 10.1021/acs.joc.9b02433 [doi] AB - A prompt preparation method of the Fmoc-aminoacyl-N-alkylcysteine dipeptide by an Ugi four-component condensation reaction is described. Through a reaction with a commercially available Fmoc-amino acid, an amine, an isocyanide, and a mercaptoacetaldehyde derivative, one step synthesis of dipeptides containing 20 kinds of natural amino acid residues was achieved, which avoided the problematic N-alkylation of S-tritylcysteine and its coupling reaction. The dipeptide was applied to the Fmoc-solid-phase peptide synthesis, and peptide thioesters were successfully obtained in high efficiency via N-alkylcysteine (NAC)-assisted thioesterification.
