Abstract

The attachment of Fmoc‐amino acids onto p‐alkoxybenzyl alcohol resins via DCC‐DMAP coupling suffers from two different problems: formation of dimers and racemization. The use of N,N‐dimethylformamide dineopentyl acetal for the preparation of Fmoc‐aminoacyloxybenzyl handles is the basis of a safe and efficient anchoring method that avoids both problems.
