• of 23, from which the Boc-group was removed by acid hydrolysis to afford derivative 24. Protein conjugations were performed by reaction of 24 (20 equiv) with human serum albumin (HSA). Compound 20 was similarly activated with dimethyl squarate and conjugated to HSA. MALDI-TOF MS of the HSA-conjugates

At first, it was unclear whether 7a was formed by an intramolecular cyclization or a dimerization of 4a since its concentration-dependent ESI-MS and MALDI-TOF-MS spectra both showed
