Multipin solid‐phase synthesis of acyl 2,3‐diaminopropionic acid oligomers

Abstract
A modular approach for the synthesis of sets of diverse organic molecules is described. N-alpha-Fmoc-N-beta-Alloc-D-2,3-diaminopropionic acid (Fmoc-D-Dpr(Alloc)-OH) was prepared in four steps from Boc-D-asparagine and used as a scaffold for attachment of sidechains. Using the Multipin approach, a number of model acyl trimers were rapidly prepared by sequential coupling of Fmoc-D-Dpr(Alloc)-OH and acylation of the beta-amino group with a range of activated carboxylic acids.
