The preferred conditions to remove the protecting groups are anhydrous trifluoroacetic or 2-12N hydrochloric acid. Compound II may be obtained by removal of protecting groupsα,# from II(a) (preferably with a mercuric or silver salt) followed by oxidation (preferably by hydrogen sulphide, iodine, oxygen, 1,2-diiodoethane or sodium or potassium ferricyanide), or by one-step conversion using iodine (preferably in a C 1-4 alkanol) or thiocyanogen. Compound (I) may be prepared by oxidation of compound (Ia). The peptides are claimed per se.
