DIPEPTIDES AND PROCESS FOR THEIR PREPARATION USING AN ENZYME COUPLING AGENT

摘要

Dipeptides of formula (I) are new: In (I) B=H or Q; Q=amino acid protecting gp; V=H or 1-4C alkyl; asterisks indicate the natural amino acid configuration; one of X and Y=H and the other is HET (i.e. an opt substd. hetero-atomic gps., releasable from the C by redn) or both are HET, or XCY is a HET ring or non-cyclic HET gp. Also new are the phenylalanine cpd of formula (III) and their salts; provides that X-C-Y is not H-C-OH. More specifically Y=H and X=OR1, SR1, OCOR1, OCOOR, OCONHR1, OCSSR, or NHR1; or both are OR1 or SR1, or together complete S(CH2)nS, O(CH2)nO, TsNHN=, =N.NH.CO.NH2, =N.NH.COR1 or =NOH; R1=H or R; R=1-4C opt. substd. alkyl or alkenyl, or opt substd. aryl; n=1-4; Ts=tosyl.
