Allylglycine-containing peptides may be cleaved selectively at the amide bond between allylglycine and the subsequent amino acid with iodine. The lateral vinyl bond allows selective modifications of a peptide e.g. via metathesis. The synthetic applications of aliphatic unsaturated α-amino acids as allylglycine have been reviewed by Kaiser et al.
