Protected aminooxyprolines for expedited library synthesis: Application to Tsg101-directed proline–oxime containing peptides

The stereoselective synthesis of aminooxy-containing proline analogues bearing Fmoc/Boc or Fmoc/Mtt protection that renders them suitable for incorporation into peptides using Fmoc protocols is reported. Acid-catalyzed unmasking at the completion of peptide synthesis yields free aminooxy-functionalities for oxime formation through reaction with libraries of aldehydes. This allows post solid-phase diversification strategies that may facilitate structure–activity relationship studies.
