The preparation of the nucleopeptide H-Phe-Tyr-(pATAT)-NH2 could be realized via a solid phase phosphitetrlester approach and by using the protected protecting group 2-(tert-butyldiphenylsilyloxymethyl)-benzoyl for the masking of the N6-amino function of deoxyadenoslne. The latter protecting group can be removed under mild conditions with fluoride ion.
