The thermal reactions of amino acids have been investigated for pure organic synthesis, materials preparation in industry, and prebiotic chemistry. N-t-Butyloxycarbonyl aspartic acid (Boc-Asp) releases 2-butene and carbon dioxide upon heating without solvents. The resulting mixture of the free molten aspartic acid was dehydrated to give peptide bonds. This study describes the thermal reactions of N-t-butyloxycarbonyl peptides (Boc-Gly-L-Asp, Boc-L-Ala-L-Asp, Boc-L-Val-L-Asp, and Boc-Gly-Gly-L-Asp) having an aspartic residue at the carboxyl terminus. The peptides were deprotected upon heating at a constant temperature between 110 and 170°C for 1 to 24 h to afford polypeptides in which the average molecular weight reached 7800.

In the title homotripeptide {Boc-[Asp(OMe)]3-OPac}, C28H37N3O13, all peptide bonds adopt an s-trans conformation with respect to the N—H and C=O groups. In the crystal, N—H...O hydrogen bonds result in an infinite parallel β-sheet structure running along the b-axis direction. The Boc protecting group at the N-terminus of the peptide is disordered over two sites with occupancy factors of 0.504 (5) and 0.496 (5).

Papain-catalyzed condensation of sodium salt of tert-butyloxycarbonyl-β-tert-butyloxyaspartyl-O4-sulfotyrosine (fragment 1-2) with methionyl-glycyl-tryptophyl-methionyl-aspartyl-phenylalanine amide (fragment 3-8) has been elaborated. Deprotection of the thus-obtained octapeptide afforded CCK-8 which exhibited full biological activities. Benzyloxycarbonylaspartyl-phenylalanine amide (fragment 7-8) was prepared using thermolysin without protecting the aspartic acid side chain. Attempted condensation of tert-butyloxycarbonylmethionyl-glycyl-tryptophan (fragment 3-5) with methionyl-aspartyl-phenylalanine amide (fragment 6-8), catalyzed by α-chymotrypsin, subtilisin or proteinase K, afforded the product (fragment 3-8) in only low yields. Further use of proteolytic enzymes for preparing other peptide fragments of the CCK-8 molecule without side chain protection is investigated.
