N-alpha-9-Fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl-N-epsilon-4-methyltrityl-lysine, (Fmoc-Lys(Mtt)-OH), was prepared in two steps from lysine, in 42% overall yield. The N-epsilon-Mtt function can be quantitatively removed upon treatment with 1% TFA in dichloromethane or with a 1:2:7 mixture of acetic acid/trifluoroethanol/dichloromethane for 30 min and 1 h at room temperature, respectively.
