A promotion effect for peptide cyclization by strong H-bonding of fluorinated alcohols was revealed via a synthetic study of a cyclic AFGP skeleton. Combination of fluorinated alcohol-DCM solvent system and DIC-additive system afforded the cyclic hexapeptide skeleton in more than 80% yield. The ratio of intra- vs. inter-peptide condensation depended upon the H-bonding donor strength. This effect was quenched by H-bond acceptor solvents.
