An instrument was constructed which automatically monitors the progress of solid phase peptide syntheses. It measures total peptide chains, after deprotection of the Nαprotecting group, and the number of unreacted peptide chains after the coupling reaction. It is based on the spectrophotometric picrate method for the determination of resin-bound amino groups. For peptides not containing histidine the free amino groups are converted to picrate salts with picric acid in dichloromethane, while peptides containing histidine are synthesized with Nim-DNP protecting groups on histidine and the free amino groups are converted to picrate salts with imidazolium picrate. The picrate is displaced by diisopropylethylamine, and its absorbance is measured quantitatively at 362 nm. The range of the method was approximately 0.4–4000 μmoles of amino groups. With histidine-containing peptides the estimate of coupling was only about ±1%, but with peptides not containing histidine it was approximately ±0.2%. The method was evaluated for accuracy by comparison with Schiff base and chromatographic methods and was applied to the synthesis of several small peptides.
