The synthesis of a reagent that enables the incorporation of the unusual amino acid (2S,9R)-hypusine (Hpu) into peptide sequences is described.The reagent, (2S,9R)-11--7-(carbobenzyloxy)-2--9-(tetrahydropyran-2-yloxy)-7-azaundecanoic acid, is utilized in the synthesis of a hexapeptide containing the primary pentapeptide sequence of the eukaryotic initiation factor eIF-5A, L-Cys-L-Thr-Gly-Hpu-L-His-Gly.The reagent is shown to be effective for both solution phase and Merrifield resin synthesis.
