Dichloroacetyl Chloride

The N-dichloroacetyl derivatives of DL-serine and DL-threonine were prepared by the Schotten–Baumann reaction from the amino acids and dichloroacetyl chloride. Negative ninhydrin tests coupled with elementary analyses indicated that only the amino group was acylated. The ester derivatives of these compounds were prepared either by esterification of the N-dichloroacetyl-DL-amino acid with diazomethane or by the reaction of the amino acid ester with dichloroacetyl chloride in the presence of triethylamine. The sodium salts and the esters were tested for antitumor activity against sarcoma 37 in mice and Walker carcinoma 256 in rats. In both cases regression of the tumors was obtained.

1. S-Aminoethylcysteinyl derivatives of the A and B chains of cod insulin were prepared from the individual S-sulpho chains. 2. Studies on small peptides derived from the S-aminoethylated peptide chains by treatment with trypsin allowed the amino acid sequences in the region of the cysteinyl residues of the A and B peptide chains to be defined. 3. The six amide groups in cod insulin were located by complete digestion of small peptides from the A and B chains with aminopeptidase followed by amino acid analyses. 4. The results, together with previous studies on the oxidized A and B chains, define the sequences of the 51 amino acids that constitute cod insulin.

Proton magnetic spectra of 3-phenyl-2-thiohydantoin derivatives of common amino acids in deuterated dimethyl sulfoxide were recorded. Spectral data pertaining to characteristic protons for diagnostic purpose were compiled. Their application to the N-terminal amino acid analysis of peptide by Edman degradation was examined.
