Monohalogeno-t-butyloxycarbonylamino acids (XBOC-amino acids) were synthesized by the use of the corresponding chloroformates in a basic aqueous solution. Several dipeptides containing XBOC-amino acid were also prepared. The cleavage of the XBOC group was successfully carried out not only under some acidic conditions, but also by heating in methanol or ethanol. In order to demonstrate the usefulness of this group in peptide synthesis, Z–Gly–Lys(Z)–Gly–OEt was synthesized via BrBOC–Lys(Z)–Gly–OEt, which had been treated by hot ethanol. Side reaction during the synthesis of XBOC-amino acids will also be described.
单卤代t-丁氧羰基
氨基酸(X
BOC-氨基酸)是通过在碱性
水溶液中使用相应的
氯仿酸酯合成的。还合成了几种含有X
BOC-氨基酸的二肽。XBOC基团的裂解不仅在某些酸性条件下成功进行,还可以通过在
甲醇或
乙醇中加热进行。为了证明该基团在肽合成中的实用性,合成了Z–Gly–Lys(Z)–Gly–OEt,这一反应是通过热
乙醇处理BrBOC–Lys(Z)–Gly–OEt得到的。在合成X
BOC-氨基酸的过程中也将描述副反应。
