Abstract

A practical and convenient procedure for making phosphotyrosine‐containing peptides by the solid‐phase method was developed. Phosphotyrosine was incorporated via Boc‐Tyr(PO3Bzl2)‐OH. The completed peptide was cleaved from the solid support by treatment with 1 M TMSBr‐thioanisole‐TFA. By gel‐phase 31P‐NMR spectroscopy we found that one of the benzyl protecting groups on phosphate was completely removed by two consecutive runs of Boc deprotection with 50% TFA‐DCM. However, the other benzyl group remained intact throughout the synthesis (35 cycles).
