This review summarizes the development of deprotecting methodologies for peptides and their practical application to the synthesis of disulfide bond- or phosphoamino acid-containing peptides. Acidic deprotecting systems utilizing Brønsted acid (HF, trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TFMSA) and HBr etc.) have been used
