title: Efficient synthesis of C-terminal modified peptide ketones for chemical ligations.
abstract: Synthesis of a C-terminal modified peptide with an alpha-amido methylketone was efficiently carried out using a backbone-amide-type linker loading with a monofunctionalized diamine, provided that no base such as piperidine or diisopropylethylamine or a reducing agent such as triisopopylsilane was used for the synthetic pathway. The ketoxime-forming chemoselective ligation between a methylketone and an aminooxy was quantitative in 5h at pH 2.
