Phenyl-EDOTn derivatives as super acid labile carboxylic acid protecting groups for peptide synthesis

A series of new 3,4-ethylenedioxy-2-thenyl (EDOTn) derived alcohols have been synthesized and evaluated as super acid labile carboxylic acid protecting groups. All the derivatives are labile to very low concentrations of TFA (0.01-0.5%).

A series of new 3,4-ethylenedioxy-2-thenyl (EDOTn) derived alcohols have been synthesized and evaluated as super acid labile carboxylic acid protecting groups. All the derivatives are labile to very low concentrations of trifluoroacetic acid (0.01-0.5%).
