Amino Acids and Peptides. LIV. Application of 2-Adamantyl Derivatives as Protecting Groups to the Synthesis of Peptide Fragments Related to Sulfolobus solifataricus Ribnuclease. I.
The 2-adamantyloxycarbonyl group was employed for the protection of the epsilon-amino group of Lys and the hydroxyl group of Tyr, and the 2-adamantyl ester was employed for the protection of the beta-carboxyl group of Asp in order to construct eight peptide segments as building blocks for the preparation of peptide fragments related to the sequence of Sulfolobus solifataricus Ribonuclease. The usefulness
