Significance

An amide-modified farnesyl­cysteine (AMFC) library 6 was prepared via solid-phase synthesis. Thus, a farnesylcysteine-­supported resin 3 was prepared from Fmoc-Cys(St-Bu)OH (1) through S-alkylation with farnesyl chloride. The peptide condensation of 3 with various carboxylic acids 4 gave the resin-supported AMFC 5. The AMFC derivatives 6 were cleaved from the resin supports in 45-65% overall yield with over 90% purity (26 examples). Compound 8 was also prepared from 2, 2-phenoxybenzoic ­acid, and isobutenyl biphenyl derivative 9 in 40% yield.
