Abstract

The solid phase synthesis of an amidated somatostatin analogue based on the principle of differentiated acidolysis is described. The acid labile and smoothly cleavable t-Bumeoc moiety (1% TFA/DCM) is used for temporary Nα-protection of D- and L-amino acids and [4-[[[9H-fluoren-9-yl-methoxycarbonyl]amino](4-methoxyphenyl)methyl]-2-methylphenoxy]acetic acid, attached to an aminomethylated polystyrene resin is used as acid sensitive linker of the solid carrier which releases the peptide in its amide form by treatment with TFA. Its preparation is described in detail.
