Abstrakt: Site-selective incorporation of thioamides into peptides and proteins provides a useful tool for a wide range of applications. Current incorporation methods suffer from low yields as well as epimerization. Here, we describe how the use of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) rather than piperidine in fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (Fmoc) deprotection reduces epimerization and increases yields of thioamide-containing peptides. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the use of DBU avoids byproduct formation when synthesizing peptides containing side-chain thioamides.
