51. Pyrrole-Imidazole Polyamides: Automated Solid-Phase Synthesis

In this unit, the fully automated solid-phase synthetic strategy of hairpin Py-Im polyamides is described using triphosgene (BTC) as a coupling agent. This automated methodology is compatible with all the typical building blocks, enabling the facile synthesis of polyamide libraries in 9% to 20% yield in 3 days.
