Synthesis of Photoactive p-Azidotetrafluorophenylalanine Containing Peptide by Solid-Phase Fmoc Methodology

Abstract
[structure: see text] N-Fmoc-L-p-azidotetrafluorophenylalanine was prepared from achiral starting materials using an acetamidomalonate synthesis and enzymatic resolution. A photoactive peptide containing this fluorinated residue could be assembled using solid-phase Fmoc chemistry.
