摘要 |
The present invention is directed to a method for synthesizing a peptide using solid-state chemistry in which at least one amide bond is N-methylated, wherein said method of synthesis utilizes N-Boc protected amino acids. For example, the a peptide is first synthesized using N-BOC protected amino acids and 4-methylbenzylhydrylamine functionalized 1% cross linked polystyrene resin until reaching the amide bond to be N-methylated. Then, the amino group at the desired methylation site is methylated. If desired, the synthesis of additional peptide using N-BOC protected amino acids may continued until the desired peptide is complete.
