%A X Wang %A SG Nelson %A DP Curran %J Tetrahedron %T The azido acid approach to ?-peptides: parallel synthesis of a tri-?-peptide library by fluorous tagging %X A small tri-?-peptide library was prepared starting from three enantio- and diastereopure azido acids. Fluorous tagging followed by two cycles of azide reduction, fluorous solid phase extraction (f-SPE), peptide coupling with the original azido acids, and f-SPE provided 27 protected azido peptides. Reduction and HPLC purification provided 25 of the 27 targeted tri-?-peptides in acceptable yields and excellent purities. ? 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
