Abstract: Ferroceneamine, H2N-Fc, has been substituted to the C-terminus of 6 amino acids using the HBTU / HOBt coupling protocol. The synthesized bioconjugates Boc-Aaa-Fc, Aaa = Gly (1), Leu (2), Phe (3), Val (4), Cys(Acm) (5), Tyr(tBu) (6) (Acm = acetamidomethyl, tBu = t-buthyl), have been characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR EI-MS, EI-HRMS, UV and CD spectroscopies. In addition, a VT NMR study on 4 and the X-ray structure of 1 are presented.
