Recyclable hypervalent-iodine-mediated solid-phase peptide synthesis and cyclic peptide synthesis

The system of the hypervalent iodine(III) reagent FPID and (4-MeOC 6 H 4 ) 3 P was successfully applied to solid-phase peptide synthesis and cyclic peptide synthesis. Four peptides with biological activities were synthesized through SPPS and the bioactive cyclic heptapeptide pseudostellarin D was obtained via solution-phase peptide synthesis. It is worth noting that FPID can be readily regenerated after the peptide coupling reaction.
