Suppression of side‐reactions during the attachment of FMOC‐amino acids to hydroxymethyl polymers

Abstract
Two side‐reactions occur during the DCC‐mediated attachment of Fmoc‐amino acids to p‐alkoxybenzyl alcohol resins viz. dipeptide formation and racemization. The addition of 1‐hydroxybenzotriazole in combination with a low reaction temperature is shown to decrease both side‐reactions to an acceptable level without lowering the degree of incorporation.
