title: Use of 6 M HCl for removal of the N-alpha-tert-butyloxycarbonyl group during solid-phase peptide synthesis.
abstract: We describe the use of 6 M HCl to remove the Boc group in solid-phase peptide synthesis. Three peptides, 4-10 amino acid residues in length, have been successfully synthesized using 6 M HCl and were found to be comparable in purity to the same peptides prepared using the standard 50% trifluoroacetic acid in dichloromethane method of N-alpha-Boc removal.
