The document discusses various side reactions that can occur during solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), including peptide fragmentation, deletion reactions, β-elimination reactions, rearrangements, cyclizations, modifications of amino acid side chains, and oxidations. Specific examples are provided for each category, such as acidolysis of Asp-Pro bonds and N-acetyl-N-alkyl peptides, β-elimination of cysteine and phosphorylated residues, acid- or base-catalyzed acyl shifts, aspartimide and asparagine deamidation, and disulfide scrambling or degradation. Factors affecting the side reactions like acidity, sequence dependence, and excipient impurities are also examined.
