Abstract
A method of forming an amino acid thiohydantoin from an N-protected amino acid or the C-terminal amino acid of an N-protected peptide. The amino acid is activated by reaction with a ketenimine, and the activated ester is converted to the thiohydantoin by reaction with silyl or pyridine isothiocyanate. The ketenimine is generated by treating an N-substituted isoxazolium compound, such as Woodwards Reagent K with a base, preferably in the presence of the amino acid. Also disclosed is a solid phase support having a derivatized N-substituted isoxazolium or ketenimine group for use in the method.
