Abstract

Solid phase peptide synthesis is carried out in organic solvents, creating environmental problems after disposal. To avoid this problem, we aimed to perform solid phase peptide synthesis in water. A new water-soluble N-protecting group, 2-(4-sulfophenylsulfonyl)ethoxycarbonyl (Sps) group, was designed and Sps-amino acids were prepared. To evaluate the utility of this technique, Leu-enkephalin amide was prepared by solid phase synthesis using Sps-amino acids in water.
