Abstract
The principles and practice of solid-phase organic synthesis and combinatorial chemistry are utilized in a laboratory preparation of oligopeptides. A parallel synthesis scheme is used to generate a series of tripeptides. A divergent synthesis scheme is used to prepare two pentapeptides, one of which is leucine enkephalin, a neurotransmitter known to be an analgesic agent.
Supplement
Supplemental materials are available, including: information on chemicals and equipment, purification of reagents, experimental procedures, yields, TLC data, NMR spectra, reaction mechanisms, notes for instructors, a glossary of terms, and a list of general references to SPOS and combinatorial chemistry.
