One of the main problems still hampering solid-phase peptide synthesis using orthogonal protection strategies based on the 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl amino protecting group is the difficult removal of currently used arginine arylsulphonyl guanidino protecting groups. Poor acid lability of 4-methoxy-2,3,6-trimethylbenzenesulphonyl-protected arginine has led to the popularity of the newer 2,2,5,7,8-pentamethylchroman-6-sulphonyl guanidino protecting group.
