Nowadays, in Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis (SPPS), being either manual, automated, continuous flow or microwave-assisted, the reaction with various coupling reagents takes place via in situ active ester formation. In this study, the formation and stability of these key active esters were investigated with time-resolved 1H NMR by using the common PyBOP/DIEA and HOBt/DIC coupling reagents for both α- and β-amino acids. Parallel to the amide bond formation, the hydrolysis of the α/β-active esters, a side reaction that is a considerable efficacy limiting factor, was studied. Based on the chemical nature/constitution of the active esters, three amino acid categories were determined: (i) the rapidly hydrolyzing ones (t 24 h) in solution. The current insight into the kinetics of this key hydrolysis side reaction serves as a guide to optimize the coupling conditions of α- and β-amino acids, thereby saving time and minimizing the amounts of reagents and amino acids to be used-all key factors of more environmentally friendly chemistry.

Octaarginine has been described as a molecular transporter. We report a useful synthesis of orthogonally protected l-octaarginine by using a method based on a microencapsulated palladium catalyst. Known palladium-based methods for allyl ester deprotection have been modified to facilitate purification of the unprotected intermediates. This improvement in the purification step has also been tested with a variety of allyl α-amino esters and allyl α,β-unsaturated esters.
