Described herein is an operationally simple, one-pot solid-supported preparation of saturated stapled peptides. Following completion of ruthenium-catalysed metathesis, solid-phase transfer hydrogenation was achieved using triethylhydrosilane at elevated temperatures. The utility of the method has been demonstrated on 14- and 16-mer peptides to yield the corresponding cyclic a-helix stabilised stapled peptides.
