25. We have repeatedly observed that after oxidative cleavage of the hydrazide linker major fractions of the synthesized lipopeptides remained bound to the solid support by means of an unidentified linkage that could not be cleaved oxidatively or under acidic or basic conditions anymore. The oxidative cleavage of the hydrazide linker most probably proceeds through an intermediate acyl radical (see: M. Völkert, S. Koul, G. H. Müller, M. Lehnig, H. Waldmann, J. Org. Chem. 2002, 67, 6902-6910) that may form a covalent bond with the polymeric support.
26. Numerous attempts to trap such an intermediate under the conditions of release from the solid support were, however, fruitless (for a related observation, see: J. A. Camarero, B. J. Hackel, J. J. de Yorco, A. R. Mitchell, J. Org. Chem. 2004, 69, 4145-4151).

34. Serine side chains were protected as trityl ethers, lysine side chains were masked with the methyltrityl (Mtt) group. The side-chain protecting groups were removed from the peptides by treatment with TFA/triethylsilane/ dichloromethane (1:2:97) for 2 h after the release of the peptides from the solid support (see D. Kadereit, P. Deck, I. Heinemann, H. Waldmann, Chem. Eur. J. 2001, 7, 1184-1193).
35. In further experiments, it was shown that a BODIPY fluorophore can also be introduced at the C terminus of lipidated peptides by nucleophilic trapping of the activated sulfonamide with the BODIPY-2-aminoethyl amide (data not shown).
