Arginine thioacid in synthesis of arginine conjugates and peptides

.




Protected arginine thioacid enables convenient N-acylation with no detectable racemization. We report efficient syntheses of potentially biologically active arginine conjugates and novel arginine-containing di-, tri- and tetrapeptides in good yields without loss of chiral integrity.
