Fmoc-Cys(2,4-hexadiene)-OH is a diene-containing amino acid developed in the Moellering lab for the preparation of Diels-Alder-cyclized peptides for macrocyclization and peptide stabilization. Peptide macrocycles are of increasing interest for improving peptide bioactivity and properties as well as their potential to study, stabilize, or inhibit protein-protein interactions (PPIs).

Macrocyclization can improve bioactive peptide ligands through preorganization of molecular topology, leading to improvement of pharmacologic properties like binding affinity, cell permeability, and metabolic stability. Here we demonstrate that Diels-Alder [4 + 2] cycloadditions can be harnessed for peptide macrocyclization
