Process for producing alanylglutamine.

摘要

Disclosed is a process for producing alanylglutamine, which comprises reacting an N-(2-substituted)-propionylglutamine compound represented by the formula (I): <CHEM> where X represents halogen, alkylsulfonyloxy, or substituted or unsubstituted arylsulfonyloxy, with ammonia at a temperature of 60 DEG C or below. In accordance with the present invention, highly purified alanylglutamine can be produced in a high yield, without racemization.
