Peptide synthesis on fluorous support

New fluorous supports were synthesized and used to prepare a peptide having a C-terminal COOH based on fluorous chemistry. The hexakisfluorous chain-type support was suitable for the synthesis of a pentapeptide or a peptide derivative on a fluorous support whose fluorine content is over 40 w/w%. A bioactive peptide, Leu-enkephalin, was easily synthesized using an Fmoc-strategy based on fluorous chemistry.
