Abstract A method for the synthesis of arginine peptides is described, in which the side chain guanidine function is blocked through reaction with 1,2-cyclohexanedione in borate buffers. Coupling to the carboxyl group of arginine was achieved by active ester, by dicyclohexylcarbodiimide/1-hydroxybenzotriazole1, and by the mixed anhydride methods2. Neither lactam formation nor acylation of the vicinal hydroxyls of the N7, N8-(1,2-dihydroxycyclohex-1,2-ylene) guanidino group was observed. Removal of the protecting group is strongly influenced by steric factors. Some side reactions observed during modification of peptides and protein fragments with 1,2-cyclohexanedione are also described.
