General Description

Hmb protection of amide bonds has been shown to inhibit aggregation of "difficult" peptides by Fmoc SPPS, thereby leading to products of increased purity ^{[1,2,3,4,5,6]} . Retention of Hmb groups on the cleaved peptide can greatly improve the solubility of protected peptide fragments ^{[7, 8]} and otherwise intractable sequences ^[9,10,11]. Furthermore, using a Hmb-protected derivative for incorporation of the residue linked to the carboxyl group of Asp or Asn residues has been found to suppress formation of aspartimide and piperidide related by-products ^[12,13,14] . For a comparison of the efficiency of Hmb and pseudoprolines in preventing aggregation, see ^[15] .
