Description

General description

Building block for Fmoc SPPS which enables selective deprotection of cysteinyl thiol group on the solid phase. The Mmt group can be removed on the solid phase with 1% TFA in DCM containing 5% TIS ^[1,2,3,4]. Reference 4 describes a novel method for on-resin disulfide bond formation which uses Cys(Mmt) in combination with Cys(tBuS).
