Prevention of aspartimide formation during peptide synthesis using cyanosulfurylides as carboxylic acid-protecting groups

Aspartimide formation is a frequently occurring problem during peptide synthesis. Here, the authors present cyanosulfurylides as a protection group that masks aspartic acid residues during solid phase peptide synthesis, thus preventing aspartimide formation, and can be removed with N-chlorosuccinimi...
