Pet (pyridyl‐ethyl ester) signifies two advantageous novel carboxy‐protecting groups for peptide synthesis. 2‐(2‐Pyridyl)‐ and 2‐(4‐pyridyl)ethyl esters of amino acids and peptides are both acid‐stable as well as relatively base‐stable; thus, they survive the acidolytic cleavage of the Z‐ and the Boc‐protecting group. After methylation to the extremely base‐labile pyridinium form (e.g. 1 ), Pet esters can be mildly cleaved with morpholine.
