Abstract
Abstract A method for the synthesis of sulfydryl-containing peptides which comprises forming a benzylthioether-linked solid support-bound thiol compound having at least one functional group for generating at least one peptide bond, sequentially coupling at least one protected amino acid or peptide to the compound until a peptide having desired amino acid sequence is obtained, and cleaving the benzylthioether linkage to release the peptide from the support with concomitant regenertion of the sulfydryl group in the peptides. The invention also encompasses compounds having the general formula ##STR1## wherein X is H, NH 2 , ##STR2## or acyl-NHY, said acyl being an amino acid or a peptide; Y is H, COOH, CONHNH 2 , ##STR3## the ester COOR 1 in which R 1 is selected from the group consisting of methyl, ethyl, phenyl, ortho-nitrophenyl and para-nitrophenyl, the amide CONH 2 , or the amide CONHR 2 in which R 2 is an amino acid or peptide; and providing that X and Y cannot both be H.
