A flow reactor process for the synthesis of peptides utilizing immobilized reagents, scavengers and catch and release protocols.

A general flow process for the multi-step assembly of peptides has been developed and this procedure has been used to successfully construct a series of Boc, Cbz and Fmoc N-protected dipeptides in excellent yields and purities, including an extension of the method to enable the preparation of a tripeptide derivative.
