DMB (Dimethylbarbituric) and DETB (Diethylthiobarbituric) are both barbituric and thiobarbituric acid derivatives respectively, that forms enamines with the Nα amine of amino acids. These compounds were found to be stable crystalline solids and show stability in the standard acidic and basic conditions used for solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) strategies. These protecting groups are cleaved by a mild solution of 2 % hydrazine hydrate in DMF and 2 % hydroxylamine in DMF, both at short reaction times. Their use in SPPS showed that DMB-protected amino acids allow the preparation of peptides and therefore could be an alternative to the Fmoc strategy currently used. A further advantage of these protecting groups is that their preparation does not involve the concourse of phosgene derivatives and therefore they could be considered greener protecting groups than the carbamate-based one.
